With how serious Brent is when he talks about this album, it really shows how much it meant to him I think.
@jakeybball5 жыл бұрын
Austin Bice especially after his interviews for EOS... it seems like he really didn’t give one single fuck about it. Seemed like he just cared about the Cold Dark Place release.

brent sacrificed part of his sanity to make this album what it is.
@swingonthespiral6 жыл бұрын
Lion Mane i think theres a method to his madness. He just hates how even when he acts sane he gets painted as a wildman, he has no real say in how hes percieved so he just dicks around when he doesn't feel like hes taken seriously. Like why waste energy on people who wont listen.

@@SuperYertleTurtle Blood Mountain is awesome, just like Leviathan is epic, but Crack The Skye is like the epitome of Mastodon. The Hunter was so meh I just kept listening to those three and now I'm finding out they already got two more out? And there might be another one on its way? I've been missing out!

I really like seeing Bill work out the Crack the Skye riff, fucking around, messing up a little. We all do it, and we have all heard the album and the live performances(the amazing finished product). I like to see moments like this from my musical heroes. It's cool when they let the whole world into a very private process.

@herbertwilliams44635 жыл бұрын
This album literally brings me back to the best two years of My life. 2008 and 2009 were hands down the greatest!! Hell, I almost even died in a horrific car wreck while this album was playing. I came to with the sounds if Divinations being the first sign of still being alive after the car flipped 8 times. Upside down and covered in gas, this album woke me up and I remember crawling out of the vehicle and pulling out my friend who was still unconscious! This album is so heavy for me and is still My favorite record ever created! Yet, almost 10 years later, they released "Emperor of Sand", which is a close second as far as my favorite records by them. Also, I feel that this new record EOS is as close to Crack The Skye as they have come! I Love You Guys and I hope You all continue to make amazing music for atleast another 10 years!! Rock On!!! 🤘😎🤘❤

@tylerjacobson80127 жыл бұрын
BestefarSmite there's a strong difference in progression and watering down your sound and making more catchy music that seems to be made just for more radio play. Crack the skye is obviously not watered down at all. That's prog dynamite. But hunter and omrts have songs like curl of the burl or motherload that feel like they were wrote by a completely different band. It's all preference obviously. I tend to like mastodon music that made me love mastodon. The prog heavy metal sludge rockabilly stuff that just gets my dick as hard as a Harley exhaust pipe.

Lennart N Everything they do is in D standard (DGCFAD, one full step below E). Hence, the nine-string is tuned DGCFFAADD, with the F, A, and D strings doubled in octaves.

It's so hard to describe, and that's the biggest reason it keeps pulling me back in and listening to it over and over and over because It's so great but it so many little nuances that keep you coming back for more...
