The Workhorse Chronicles is a DVD by the US progressive metal / sludge band Mastodon . It was released on February 21, 2006 by Relapse Records .
Emergence
After her move from Relapse Records to the major label Warner Music , her previous record company released the DVD The Workhorse Chronicles two weeks after the compilation album Call of the Mastodon . In addition to interviews with all four band members, this DVD contains many live recordings from the band's previous career. Sometimes Mastodon still appear as a quintet with the singer Eric Saner, who has since dropped out. The DVD is rounded off by three music videos . The total playing time of the DVD is more than three hours. Bassist Troy Sanders described the DVD as an "invitation to tread the paths that the band once walked".

reception
Ned Raggett described The Workhorse Chronicles as "a wonderful DVD that is an instant classic". In particular, the documentary part with the interviews would make this publication essential. For Jost Frommhold from the online magazine Metal.de , Relapse says goodbye "in a skilful way to this exceptional band". The three hours at hand would be “well worth the money”, so that the label cannot be accused of “wanting to cash in again”. The DVD would be “a delicacy for every Mastodon fan and should also be enjoyed by the uninitiated as a gateway drug,” for which Frommhold awarded nine out of ten points.
