"Slick Leg" is an EP release by US metal act Mastodon. The EP was released through Reptilian Records in 2001. It was originally released as a 7" picture disc vinyl EP. The three tracks featured on "Slick Leg" are culled directly from the 2000 "9 Song Demo", although original lead vocalist Eric Saner�s vocal tracks have been replaced by re-recorded vocal tracks performed by guitarist Brent Hinds and bassist Troy Sanders. All material from the EP would later be released as part of the "Call of the Mastodon" (2006) compilation album.

Considering that the material was originally released as a demo, "Slick Leg" is a surprisingly high quality release featuring a raw yet detailed and powerful sounding production job. Compared to Saner�s vocals on the "9 Song Demo", Hinds' and Sanders' are more shouting and hardcore influenced, but there is still a semi-growling quality to them, which at times provide Mastodon�s music which a death metal edge.

The band are well playing delivering a technical, busy, and adventurous musical output, featuring influences from sludge, hardcore, thrash, and as mentioned above even death metal. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
