Heavy.

[@jsabbott0]

Aw, man, I've been trying out Last Baron but I don't think it's going to happen. There's like, 8 minutes of unforgivably hard material in there.

The demon skin is covered in fine mist Opened his hand in my hand Holding my eyes to the future Hovering above myself Letting loose the guided Punching these holes in my head The space time paradigm Omnipresence Primal instincts Let it go/ Letting go 5x Calling reason Finding you These wild hearts run Even deeper Burning through These wild hearts run Let it go/ Letting go 5x Letting me free the quintessence In fine mist Opened his hand in center Holding my eyes to the future Letting loose the guided Punching these holes in my head Losing my skin to the landslide Omnipresence Primal instinct Let it go/Letting go 5x Calling reason Finding you These wild hearts run Even deeper Burning through These wild hearts run Let it go/Letting go5x Shield failure Speed farewell NOTE: don’t exactly know if they’re saying Letting go or Let it go.

I was thinking The Last Baron would be great, but then I thought of that insane riff (one of my favorite riffs ever) that starts at like 8:19 in this /watch?v=4pvfQtUhtNE

[@MiseryFields]

We can has Last Baron?

[@lukasschwermann2993]

Dude that was amazing! I saw many piano covers of metal songs, but i can't quite tell why, this is special

[@BallisticKnifeJesus]

Please do Ghost of Karelia!

[@MiseryFields]

Haha Fair enough, man. I've been trying to learn it on the guitar for...well, let's just say it's been a while. I think you could do it, though. I mean, you did all of Leviathan in one take! lol

[@magnusolsson8547]

Love Mastodon covers played on pianos, cellos, flutes, what ever. It just shows that great music is great music regardless of genre.

[@FoamBornA]

Oh my god. You listen to all these metal bands I like, AND Animal Collective? Lady boner achieved. And this is one of my fave Mastodon songs too.

[@bestworstusername]

Holy shit that was fucking awesome! 5/5 love this song and CtS is easily my favorite Mastodon, they put a lot of effort into it and it shows. Not saying The Hunter or the other ones are bad, absolutely not, I'm just saying Crack the Skye is an absolute stunner of an album. One of my favorite albums of all time aswell, not just by Mastodon.

[@kylemaynemayne8307]

I’m always looking for metal turned into piano, you deserve more likes for this. That was very well done.

[@juanidelgado8029]

PLEASE DO THE CZAR

[@35620340]

hey man you are a fucking god, i cant imagine what can you do with a tail piano, are you planning on making more mastodon covers? maybe something of the hunter?

[@spongebobbuthankhillsface7924]

You can shred man. No but really good cover just learned this song the other day on guitar love playing it

[@yudaviaandries997]

Why this song more make sense when played with pianos than guitar??

[@uendelbembem4300]

Yudavia Andries Like any other song

[@ATthemusician]

It doesn't make "more sense" for piano, I don't know where that asinine ideology comes from.

[@awwmang14]

This song was a great choice! Would love to hear March of the Fire ants!

[@WWENFLfan]

That was great, could you do The Last Baron?

[@BenArtVincent]

amazing ! muy fucking bien

[@Dagamemasterable]

wow dude that is cool man keep it up

[@crunkalac]

Definition of cool

[@squeezeslemons]

How in the....I don't even.....

[@Shnazzmeister93]

Keep at it man! I am sure that if you really commit to it, you can figure it out. And man, it would be a beautiful listen. It may be 8 minutes of unforgivable material, but it would be 8 minutes of unforgettable material as well. I do hope that you keep trying, but I understand that is may take a very long time. People will be here to listen, no matter what. Keep up the fantastic work, I really wish I could play like this.

[@bjster1]

That's amazing, Man that you have adapted the song to soley piano is great, now I can show my metal music to my classical students in my music class, and they can't go "too heavy, sounds like shit". Too snoby to appreciate music i think. Great though seriously love all the Mastodon pieces you've put up, especially this one!

[@2small4theMall]

That aggression ... that power ... wonderful

[@onezerozero1001]

Aw man! You've made my day SO MUCH BETTER! thnx!

[@MrCaine]

BRILLIANT!!!

[@kKrAaRzLy]

I know this might be against your belief system, but you probably don't have to do ALL the voices ;-)

[@ChewstonIsBallistic]

That was amazing, you can really feel the frustration hinds gives. but with this piano it gives a twist like an Epic.
