I got to see them play this whole album live it was sick

[@Hld0487]

It was a great idea to introduce some context around this song first. Most of Mastodon's early albums are concept albums whose lyrics and tone/ambience don't click as much without context. I think Mastodon is most known for the sludgy sound you hear on Oblivion, but they have a slew of thrashy/prog masterpieces under their belt too. For something faster-paced, try "The Wolf is Loose" from the album "Blood Mountain." That album's story is about a guy who travels to the top of dangerous mountain in search of forbidden treasure and the psychedelic nightmares encountered along the way. A similar track would be "Megalodon" from the album "Leviathan," which is a concept album about Moby Dick and sort of Norse mythology. Megalodon combines Mastodon's love for dissonance, thrash, distortion, with a twinge of bluegrass. You could basically cover most songs from Leviathan, Blood Mountain, and Crack the Skye and not go wrong though!

Brent Hinds and William DuVall are actually in a side project called Giraffe Tongue Orchestra

[@MorteDallAlto]

Shut the front door, really?! That's class, need to check that out. Thanks for the info, man.

[@heatherturner6955]

Wow! Glad you gave the background of the band. I had skipped this one until now when i have gone back through. I am so glad I didn't skip it! Hopefully he will be able to help others through his music and showing how he got his life back on track!

[@alctaurion9038]

the boys from mastodon never disappoint

[@lenni-hazels]

Mastodon - Capillarian Crest is one of my favorites. It just has a lot of proggyness and crazyness to it (that i miss a bit on newer albums). Other great songs: Thickening, High Road, Blood and Thunder, Steambreather, March of the Fire Ants.

[@tkorreck]

Possibly the best prog metal album of all time. It’s my #1 for sure. Close 2nd is tool - lateralus

[@przemekz4]

My favorite band right now. All their albums are very good, great or phenomenal like Crack the Skye. Check out their songs Hearts Alive, The Sparrow and Sleeping Giant.

[@andredalacarte4972]

March of the fire ants and Mother Puncher 🏋️

[@chriscoote2690]

Do the Last Baron from the same album.

[@Screwpipe669]

The Czar as well… shit, do their entire catalog

[@dustybaron5942]

Great reaction for a fantastic album by my favorite band. Nice commentary, too.

[@jcgacio94]

Their first five albums are something else.

[@connorzimmermann2450]

Brilliant reaction and the introduction definitely sets the tone. The Wolf is Loose would definitely be a great on due to the energy or I Am Ahab too

[@Junebug2270]

Please do I'm not ready to die by avenged sevenfold. It's a banger

[@RiseAwakenedOne]
