MASTODON UNVEILS TRIPPED-OUT WEBSITE FOR NEW ALBUM

Mastodon
Head over to www.CrackTheSkye.com and get ready to have your mind blown! The new Mastodon micro site has just launched and features animation inspired by their upcoming album Crack the Skye. Like their previous releases, the new artwork was created by Paul Romano (Trivium, Godflesh). The site also features the world premiere of the sweeping instrumental, "Oblivion" plus a 60 second snippet of the track "Divinations."

The new album was produced by Brendan O'Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Stone Temple Pilots, Neil Young) at Southern Tracks Studios in Atlanta, GA. Drummer/lyricist Brann Dailor described the album as more "focused" and told TheQuietus.com, "Maybe there was a deeper heart to this record that needed more exploring. We got more involved with feeling the vibe of the record and everything feels creepier and spaced out... something special is going on."

Crack the Skye hits stores on March 24.

Check our exclusive interview with Dailor on JamBaseTV.

Mastodon tour dates available here.

OUCH! My head hurts just thinking about it! LOL! Not my style, but a lot of my friends love 'em. Fine by me, but can all you guys stop playing it for wake up music after a heavy night? Dang, play some Bob or Dead or something. Geez!

Hey, at least this means I don't have to hear as much Lars-I-LOVE-MY-GOLDEN-TOILET-SEAT-Ulrich! Greedy bastard!

This is awesome, I can't wait for this album. Although the vox in "Divinations" are kinda weird, it doesn't surprise me, they're always trying something new with their sound. Hopefully this album is better than Blood Mountain, which disappointed me overall.

wow hotchkiss, you've either got stronger ears than me, or party softer than me. I bet it's the former, so good for you. How do I get tougher ears? Lay off the q-tips? hahaha!

Man I'm bored at work today!

I party softer and have tougher ears. I do a strenuous ear work out three times a week. It consists of lots of the melvins and john tesh.
