According to the fine folks at AICN, the heavy metal band Mastodon is scoring the soundtrack of Jonah Hex. The only comment that the band has given up about the news is to say:

"Needless to say, (it's) pretty heavy!"

If you're unfamiliar with Mastodon, here's a sample:

I have to agree with you Sir Prize, Metal and the Old West really doesn't feel like it would mesh well. Something tells me they're taking this movie in the wrong direction...Like a campy over the top action direction.

Granted I never read the books, but seeing the covers it doesn't seem like this is how they portrayed the settings.

I feel any time they use current music acts in a movie it makes it somewhat dated. It especially seems wrong in what is essentially a period piece.

As long as their music isn't awkward in the movie,like the hallelujah song in Watchmen.

I didn't think the Hallelujah song in Watchmen was awkward as it made the scene pretty funny.

HALLELUJAH! I got some booty! I got some booty! I got some booty!

Cool band, but I would have gone with Black Label Society. Zakk Wylde could play his brand of country and metal like no other.

Metal and the old west doesn't mix?

Sure it does...I can think of many bands that have southern influences in their music

Job For a Cowboy
Pantera
Zack Wylde
Pissing Razors
Clutch?

What were you expecting? Soggy Bottom Boys or Skynyrd?

Government Mule & Pantera! Hells Yeah!

Hex & Heavy Metal not so yeah, IMO.

DDD- Gov.t Mule is an awesome band, and long live Dimebag, I hope he is jamming with Randy Rhoads and Jimi Hendrix as we speak.

Maybe they won't go full force metal in their scoring.

Hex is a western, but its kind of not too! I mean its a fantasy world. There is time travel, zombies, voodoo. Mastodon do seem a bit too heavy, but it could work.

i wouldnt really consider job for a cowboy as anything to do with southern jester, but then again i havent heard the new album so i could be wrong, they should get maylene and the sons of disaster if they want heavy and southern

Mastodon is all screaming and distortion...terrible idea for a western.

A Bad score can ruin a movie despite being a good movie
if this singer can't sing and only scream then that's bad and will other wise ruin a good movie .
if they screw this up, burn burn burn in hell maggots
It's too bad they couldn't get Thin Lizzy but the singer is dead sooooo,,, they can't.

I just checked Mastodon's website there working with a composer named John Powell ., does anyone know him or his work?

John Powell did the soundtrack for Hancock but that's all I can think of now.
