[@MatthewStout]

Who gives a shit about what other people think of what you like. They're rich.

[@cosmicwildfire6821]

Little piece of trivia for y'all: Brent originally wanted this EP to be a solo project because it deals with deep aspects of his character, life and mind, but he later decided to let the boys join in so he could share part of the burden with them. He considered that in this manner the process would have been much less painful. True friendship at its best, I love them.

[@N0BBYX]

is this why i legit get emotional during his vocals? :(

[@germanandreagiri3079]

The making of Emperor really portrays their friendship and the way music connects them. I get really emotional when they talk about Bill`s mom passing, and how he just wanted to jam with them because they are his friends and wanted to share that moment with them. I love that idea of a band.

[@assmatronix]

bluematter01 I agree except for their latest album, which I found to be their first lackluster release. It actually bored me right off the bat because it sounded uninspired and a rehashed wannabe CTS. I still love Mastodon to death, but I fear this is the beginning of generic Mastodon. I hope they bounce back.

[@metalehead95]

I tottaly agree with you. But you know they are people they get old i dont think they have they same energy to write and perform new complex and extreeme songs. However that doesnt mean people should get hyped and praise them when they realise uninspired music. PS : Someone should make a compilation video with young mastodon giving hell on stage and then old mastodon recording claps for their new song.

I like that they released it. I feel like if a band is going through whatever it is that makes them think and EP is a better fit for them than an LP, then go for the EP. I think Tool really fucked up by waiting 12 years between albums. That's unecessary. Release 4 songs 5 years in, and everyone would have been thrilled, and also have been saying "Damn this is sick, wish there were more songs!" But gain, the alternative is zero songs. Love this band.

He hated the shell he was born into, with an auto-immune disease very rare to any medical advancements. He stood toe to toe, and face to face with the demon. he fought the fight that no one wants to see. Bitten by the fangs of circumstance, he alone walked that path. I never put this song and his fight together. Tears stream down my face as I realize this is HIS anthem. Thank you for saying it in words I could not.

[@malekhatterson5373]

Brent Hinds said that Mastadon is not a Metal band and never was, and that he hates metal. . . . . Really? Haha I think it's cool that Mastadon is doing it their own way, and I really like the positive vibe of these lyrics, but frankly in my opinion this song sounds like total shite. Blood Mountain is the last Mastadon album I am a fan of. Mastadon was a Metal band, now they are prog/pop rock with some heavy guitar tones. To each their own, but Brent alienating his earlier fans with his anti metal attitude and also speaking an out right lie about the band's past, . . . . . . He is now residing in the dick wagon category for me. Mastadon basically pulled a Metallica . . . . . .. . .

[@goopah]

@Mikey H. Really? Total shite? I can understand your disappointment in their change of direction, but you honestly have no appreciation for this kind of music? Each to his own, I guess, and we all have music genres that we don't like, but it surprises me that this song rates at the bottom of the scale for you. "Total shite". Those are strong words that seem to imply that any kind of music would be better than this...? For me, it's this very change of direction that made me a Mastodon fan (but then I've always loved prog rock), and I have now bought their latest two albums, and I'm contemplating which of their earlier albums I should buy next. It would be easy for me to listen to a random song here on KZbin, but I think the best approach is to buy an entire CD and listen to the whole thing to get a more accurate feel for that particular time in their career. Maybe you can help me decide. Ignore my personal taste for a second, and just tell me straight-out which is your personal favorite Mastodon album. I love heavy music as well, so don't pull any punches. I'm looking for what Mastodon fans consider their very best album ever. Not song, but full album. I like to listen to full albums instead of singles. Which is best from beginning to end? It would also help if you told me why you love that particular album, but I understand you might not want to write that much to some random dude on KZbin, so if you'd rather just give me the title, I could probably find some good reviews by others. I'd rather have your own words however, as you have intrigued me with what you've already written so far.

Hey Brann. I know when you get the time you check this stuff. I've met you a handful of times... once in Cleveland and another in Indianapolis. I'm the dude with the Blood Mountain tattoo on his forearm. You smoked cigarettes with me in Cleveland (the day before Blood Mountain came out) and hung out at the bar after the show during your Indianapolis (Vogue) show for Crack the Skye. I just wanted you to know, this Toes To Toes song is truly amazing! And I know that in interviews you guys always say something along the lines of, ''we write songs that we like'' and the sort. But I've got to say, utilize Brent all you can... His sound may be the future of your band. You guys are getting older and are more comfortable with your stations in life. You don't want to be screaming when your 50. Embrace this Pink Floyd/ Flaming Lips vibe and transform yourselves. You guys are soooooo close!

I stumbled onto this song randomly, and have come back every single day since. I'm going down a rabbit hole. They're just so good, so fun, and you can tell they have such chemistry together. I've been stuck in my Tool, Zeppelin, Floyd bubble for so long. It's like falling in love with someone new.

[@LiquidSpiral]

One of their finest songs

[@doughtyrobbins3081]

Super sirius, how dafuq did this not make it on an album?

[@PapaJohn1612]

It's on Cold Dark Place coming out on the 22nd

[@johnstitt2615]

Pretty deep tune. Great. Front to back.

[@johnstitt2615]

LiquidSpiral I does what music should do.

[@andreasbn]

This video just confirms to me that this band has room for individuality, and they enjoy each others company and particularities. There are no constraints on the creativity, no rules that have to followed on the song writing. This is why this band continues to grow and none of the band members seems to have become bored with creating and playing music together.

[@petebarbarino2590]

Such a fucking bad ass song.... could listen in loop non stop

[@Pn3uma33]

Ive literally been doing it all day. It has been on loop nonstop. All. Day. Long.

[@cooey17]

I love how much fun they have in the studio...even to this day. It can be grueling...I know, but they're doing it, and have been for a long time, and obviously still having fun, and making kick ass tunes. True to the testament of rock .

Check out The Sparrow and Bedazzled Fingernails from their Hunter album.

Dude this is so pure. He is telling it as it is and pronounces every word. Take your time, Brent.

[@markneeley7191]

This EP is FANTASTIC ! Simply phenomenal. Everytime I listen to it, I wish I was longer. Like that kiss you wish would never end. These guys are great musicians. Progressive at its best !

[@andrewwolf7798]

These guys are incredibly good. Not knowing the story behind their decision to go less heavy and more melodic, my ignorant take is that they ran into the issue that I've always imagined any super heavy band would run into: their expression was limited to rage/aggression... the only way to open their options was to explore more melody.

[@nowthen873]

Yeah for sure, but they still have the feel of one of the heaviest bands on the planet???

[@joelsonsoares2359]

That's why Voivod's discography is perfect. Metal bands that explore new ideas are my favorite.

I haven’t been so obsessed with a band since tool. I listened to and loved Leviathan when it first came out but career took over and lost patience for listening to whole albums... till now. I’m so excited to rediscover Mastodon!

@@FluffBear01 I've heard of the band but never listened their songs for some reason. That was a mistake lol

Crazy i remember this only having 34k views. Congrats MASTADON 2 momths away from 20 years. Same magical lineup

[@Mabufu381]

seeing Hinds play Kellihers signature ESP Sparrowhawk for the solo is weirdly cool, it just feels so bro, like "Bill, i like your guitar, imma solo with it"

I always knew of this band, but never got around to check them out. Then Rick Beato did his video on Stargasm 5 years ago and I have been a fan since that day. 😊

[@stephengutierrez9149]

I freaking love these dudes, down here in San Antonio Texas, cant wait till they come back and play this song. I love how they can change and tweak their sound and we all love it!

[@bevrosity]

the breakdown is so epic

[@bradleyshuppert3393]

I don’t know where the fuck I have been….. I have lived under this ROCK for too long and it was holding me back from the joys I might have known sooner by knowing of this band….. all I can say is this….. the most complex linguistic transfers of energy combined with the riffs makes this band one of the most unique bands I have heard in my life. I am 55 and have played music all my life…. This is beyond words and so special!! I love what YoU guys do! I go to Atlanta every other weekend….. just blown away

[@bbaker4130]

So underrated. Love everything these guys do. Some of the best musicians alive today.

Is it just me or does Troy always go on his tippy toes when he's singing lol

[@SladeBallard]

That's his technique to get all the caveman growl out of his chest.

No he plays with converse, i bet his brother does it too if he sings. Cant remember what band hes in. Guitar or somethin

[@hifhen]

This song is so well put together and it touches my soul

[@adamdam]

I am a 2 year old man and I've loved this band since they started. Jokes aside, this song won't leave my head, it's perfection, the sweet part (Brent's singing section) just ain't long enough which makes you want more...its fucking perfect and such resonating lyrics man.

[@kombik7189]

An amazing band. And Brent Hinds is unique. The voice and the guitar. Plus I love that these guys effectively have 3 lead vocalists. And if that wasn't enough, even when these guys change time signature all over the place the songs retain their groove. There is no other band I can think of that have mastered that the way Mastodon has.

[@l.ronhubbard5445]

Tool

[@unclechesterthepester787]

@@l.ronhubbard5445 Mastodon is light years ahead of tool. I like tool but there songs can get stupidly repetitive.

[@l.ronhubbard5445]

@@unclechesterthepester787 that's just like your opinion, man! Light years?! Come on now dude, maybe you like Mastadon better than Tool but to act as if Tool is not as technically proficient as Mastadon is just a silly assertion. That's a weak criticism anyway, music is by definition "repetitive." That's like saying you don't like a car because it drives

Well. That was fantastic! I will be listening to this for several years. It has that timeless factor for sure. Very impressive guys.

Best song I have heard, by anyone, in years. Thank you, Mastodan, for writing a great song that has an infectious chorus hook. Metallica forgot how to do that many years ago. There's hope for metal/hard rock!

MrJoeythebabykangaro That's what happens when you care more about stuff than people. You become metallica. And the rest of the world nowadays.

Cold Dark Place is one of the best albums I've heard in years. Thank god because I was getting restless trying to find something decent. 10/10.

You should try listen to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard too, one of the greatest progressive/psychedelic rock band I've ever heard!

I realize Metallica has a sacred spot in the history of heavy music, but I don't at all connect them with the genre. Rock prepared for the masses like a salad bar at Panera Bread.

[@EdSilva76]

Agreed, Metallica has lost it's soul.. Been familiar w Mastadon since Curl of the Burl, but this song put them on the map for me, couldn't wait to plug in and play along after listening to it a dozen times
