Metal Hammer has launched an exclusive bundle with Mastodon to mark the release of their new album, Marrow Deep, offering fans a special magazine cover and t-shirt combo that cannot be bought in shops. The bundle, available only through the Louder webstore, celebrates a pivotal year for the Atlanta band, who have rebuilt their line-up following the death of former guitarist Brent Hinds and are now moving forward with new guitarist Nick Johnston.

The new issue features an in-depth interview with founding members Brann Dailor, Troy Sanders and Bill Kelliher about the making of Marrow Deep, including candid reflections on Hinds's death in a motorcycle accident last August, aged 51, five months after he left the band. The issue also includes features on Motionless In White's 20th-anniversary album Decades, Ghost's new concert film 2 Big To Rig, and an interview with Megadeth's Dave Mustaine seven years after his throat cancer diagnosis.
