Mastodon - Crack the Skye (March 2009)

**clewis** · 12-23-2008, 11:07 AM

I don't know if anyone else here likes them, but I think Mastodon is one of the best metal bands out there.
Crack the Skye, released in early 2009, is a "multidemensional story" according to drummer Brann Dailor. "It starts on planet earth, it deals with astral travel, goes to outer space, you get lost and you go on into a wormhole and you start exploring all sorts of Stephen Hawkings theroies, space continium and all that, you go into the spirit realm, you get sucked into another wormhole that brings you into tsaric russia and you get put inside Rasputin´s body and Rasputin is assassinated and you fly off through the crack in the skye and back through outer space into the devil´s dominion, passed him, back into earth and into your body."
EPIC.

1. Oblivion
2. Divinations
3. Quintessence
4. The Czar

1. Usurper
2. Escape
3. Martyr
4. Spiral

5. Ghost of Karelia
6. Crack the Skye
7. The Last Baron

What would you say their best record is? I have Blood Mountain but I wasn't particularly blown away by it. Maybe I need to give it another spin.

I would say Leviathan.

Did you know it's being produced by Brendan O'Brien? That's Bruce's producer too.

You simply have to buy this album then.

The universe has commanded it.
