Mastodon - Blood Mountain - Making Of

[@absenceovmeasurablefrequen1709]

Four highly talented guys who thankfully joined forces and created some of the most unique genre defying music of all time.

[@skriptico]

i love them too and really a lot, but this is heavy metal with sabbathian references and 80s nwobhm too. I still love them also if they're absolutely not genre defying.

[@rouxmain64]

@@skriptico dude have you actually listened to the music? do you know anything about metal?

[@vonjunzt4130]

it's heavy metal🤔

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

A real band's band!

[@moparnut6933]

​@skriptico this is prog metal.

[@sloppyy]

i wish every album i love had a corresponding video like this

[@puppetmaster8551]

Can’t wait for the Hushed and grim one, These are so awesome to watch and I’m so happy we get them, would be awesome if other bands did this for every album.

[@andykader]

They listened to you obviously!! They are all awesome!! Seeing them sep 13

[@jessesparks7424]

I wish they had made them during the earlier days, but thankfully they had the foresight to start doing it by Blood Mountain.

[@Godscountry2732]

Lets hope these guys give us another 21 years

[@puppetmaster8551]

Man that would be great, just saw them on their most recent tour and they all looked like they’re having a lot of fun which was great to see, obviously they still like each other too which is awesome. Good signs for the future imo.

[@dogma6713]

Blood Mountain is hands down my favorite record.... been a fan since Remission ...

[@jewfinigan863]

Yeah boi

[@paulgrudowski4383]

Love how Troy goes "all-in" on vocals starting at 35:52. Dude puts his whole body into his singing. So brutal.

[@SquishyOfCinder]

he has one setting

[@tkorreck]

He goes so hard on crystal skull

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

Man, they were young and pissed with bellies full of fire blessing us with metal masterworks.

[@frogsuitsman4853]

I'm a bit of a latecomer to Mastodon. Have loved em for about 2 years. I just got enough Crack the Skye and Leviathan to try a new album, Blood Mountain. It's incredible, I'll probably be obsessed with just it for another year.

[@awesomebillfromdawsomevill7788]

That’s kinda the beautiful thing about mastodon, especially at this point. There’s so many songs and different eras to jump into. There are some songs I over looked for years only to find my self becoming obsessed with them later on. Blood mountain was one I slept on, and it’s on repeat in my car right now

[@charmicarmicat2981]

How does Bran make his drumming look so effortless when he’s one of the greatest drummers alive today?

and one of the best creepy clowns too! * 16:20-15:50 is that a mad solo? no, just Brann laying down the bedframe of another classic. amazeballs.

[@subutaynoyan5372]

Still my favourite Mastodon album, simply because it's enwrapped with way more intense themes than anything they ever done. It's concept of a specific story being unfolded is very ambitious, I like how they use everything they could from Joseph Campbell to Indian mythology The music in this is just Mastodon's insanity meeting with prog. It also represents Mastodon's great methamorphosis which evolved them into what Mastodon now is And also, This Mortal Soil is the best thing they ever composed!

[@2sc458]

@21:02 That Garage Band setting was the best. Give anything to see them in a small club, that sized, again. Then again, I am so happy for their success.

[@vexomnight3079]

I saw them 3 times on the Blood Mountain tour I knew they were about to blow up That record is a masterpiece

[@jaeden2806]

You can't get any better than these 4. Fucking incredible album

[@ithaanmuhammad7908]

U never lied brother I recently got into mastodon about 2 months ago and I love it all

[@SmConnally1984]

33:20 I love seeing Troy jamming out to Scott Kelly's part on Crystal Skull. You can see it in his face, just how blown away he is. It had to have been maximum level surreal, having that legend do vocals on your stuff. He had already done Aqua Dementia of course but clearly it's not something that gets old lol.

[@charmicarmicat2981]

I can’t remember what video it was but Bran had said “Hopefully eventually we’ll have so many albums that we can just bring Scott on tour with us and do a set of all his songs” they all really look up to those guys and Mastodon is definitely the gateway into Neurosis and others, for sure. Shit the only reason I ever found out about Neurosis is because of Mastodon and they’ve easily become my favorite band of all time. So not only does Mastodon fucking rip but they also showed me Neurosis so these guys will always have my eternal gratitude

[@SmConnally1984]

@@charmicarmicat2981 honestly same. I knew OF Neurosis before, heard a bit in passing. But seeing their love for them... coupled with my love for Mastodon,. I just had to dig in and yeahhhh...fucking wow lol

[@charmicarmicat2981]

@@SmConnally1984 no other band has affected me the way they have. Mastodon was responsible for me finding High on Fire, Sleep and OM as well! Which are all also some of my favorites.

[@puppetmaster8551]

@@charmicarmicat2981 they actually did that already touring Europe and UK, they’d finish their set with all 7 Scott songs at the time. Man what I would give to have gotten to see that.

[@puppetmaster8551]

Brann said one of these will come out for the album so it sounds like they did, I assume it’ll be similar to the EOS one because that was awesome and long. H&G is a long album too so I expect the making of to be pretty long
