Artist Bio
Over the course of four albums, US quartet Mastodon has redefined the possibilities of modern metal. The band's latest opus, Crack The Skye, draws on a diverse range of influences, from 70s prog to 80s trash, proving that these four gentlemen never make the same album twice."This story is a multi-dimensional journey starting in present day," drummer Brann Dailor says cryptically. "Leaving a crippled body using astral travel, up into outer space, too close to the sun. Ripped into a wormhole and sent to the spirit realm. Convincing sprits that you’re not one of them. Channeling you into a Russian Orthodox sect called the Khlysty in the early 20th century. Into Rasputin’s body for his assassination. Out of his body and up through a crack in the sky and passing through the Devil’s dominion without being dragged to hell and back into present day."
Or, to put it simply – "This is the record we’ve always wanted to make," says guitarist Bill Kelliher. "We finally made it!"
