What Makes Mastodon’s “Leviathan” LEGENDARY

[@BenEller]

Thanks for watching this track by track breakdown of Mastodon: Leviathan! What album should I listen to next week?

[@KaldDodeGitarist]

You gave guitar lessons to Andy Thomas, right? Do some Black Crown Initiate! Selves We Cannot Forgive!

[@satchrules101]

Killer lesson like always Ben! Was wondering what model E.V.H head is the one you are using? Thanks

[@nikolaresanovic8335]

Continue the streak and go for Blood Mountain!! Hopefully covering the rest of their discography along the way

[@hydraglyphics]

Brent and Bill are honestly some of the best riff writers in all of metal, in my opinion anyway. The stuff they always manage to come up with is super creative and really doesn’t sound like any other band.

[@kreb12]

Bill's riffage is underrated, dude could write for a whole cool band on his own.

[@user-bf6gz8ej4o]

@@kreb12 Well he kinda does since Once more round the Sun. Almost all the riffs are written by him since then. Sadly, Brent's part in Mastodon is becoming smaller and smaller. There's almost no Brent on their last album

[@kreb12]

@@user-bf6gz8ej4o Oh I never realized that but can definitely see it now. Well, he did a good job with Hushed and Grim, OMRTHS and EOS are kinda meh for me. I think it's their best since CTS and my favorite song is The Beast where we at least get some soulful, dirty B Hinds.

[@sivadepilif]

Bill is the 21st century Tony Iommi

[@vthings001]

@@user-bf6gz8ej4o Might not be such a bad thing. Bill has really come into his own as a riff writer and Brent might be happy enough to step back and support the others, being more fulfilled creatively with his side projects. If it works for them then great.

[@argonunya1543]

They really created something magical when they made Leviathan. The whole album’s full of amazing songs, but Hearts Alive is their masterpiece. Epic is too tame of a word to describe it. The last three and a half minutes of that song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Brent’s crazy solo over that crushing outro riff is just Mastodon at their absolute best. Fucking inspired.

[@BenEller]

Totally agree. Hearts Alive is one of the greatest metal songs of all time and needs to be held in the same reverence as Master of Puppets, Holy Wars, and other masterpieces!

[@Robert-White]

TIME AND SPAAAAACE ALLLLL ALONE IT CAN BE A LONELY PLACE

[@ChaosPootato]

Iron Tusk was my entry to Mastodon, as a drummer I was fucking blown away by the amount of fills despite not sounding like there are any fills

[@ChrisLawlor1]

Some drummers add fills to their grooves, brann occasionally will stop playing fills and just groove for a bar or two so the rest of us can catch up

[@MagikalKrabical]

No fills only full

[@Carascoroscovaldo]

"Hearts Alive" is a masterpiece. The intro and outro of this song leaves me in a state of I don't know, I can't explain. I also like how the album ends with the song "Joseph Merrick", I love listening to it when it's raining.

[@VideoMask93]

What I love about the intro of Hearts Alive is the transition from the intro to the first main riff. After all that buildup and dread, you finally hit the water and the chase begins.

[@rainbowslushy223]

joseph merrick is like credit sequence at the end of the epic movie

[@cletusbeauregard1972]

I've seen Mastodon live twice, on the Blood Mountain and Crack The Skye tours, and they did Hearts Alive (in full) at both shows. I've been told that that Blood Mountain show (Detroit, MI) was the first time they did the full version live.

[@tychormthorp]

I watched "stuff mastodon does" like 4 years ago and now I can play through most of leviathan correctly at full speed, the double picking was hardest. I don't know where I'd be without guitar. Mastodon ROCKS.

[@shka-n1t]

I have watched that video so many times!

[@Gidrapony]

I became obsessed with a Mastodon because of your channel: something like 5-6 years ago. And now 90% of my guitar-brain memory is occupied by Mastodon songs

[@user-bf6gz8ej4o]

Same. It's so much fun learning as many songs as possible from these guys

[@tidymilk5162]

I have listened to this album so many times over the years, but NOTHING compares to hearing Megalodon or Blood and Thunder LIVE, imo.

[@DanWhiteT]

especially with Neil Fallon! Got to see that once

[@audiosmurf]

They are always amazing live but there's a special place in my reptilian brain that responds to the Seabeast breakdown with fucking thrashing euphoria.

[@DedicatedSpirit8]

I got the vinyl maybe 2 weeks ago now and it's become a daily staple.

[@kevins.3825]

I don't know...Blood Mountain was the first Tour I saw them on opening for Slipknot, along with Children of Bodom and I was pretty blown away. But then I saw them 2x on Crack the Sky for which they played the entire album plus other songs. I was wondering how DethKlok was going to do after such an epic performance by Mastodon, DethKlok actually kicked ass too. lol

[@DedicatedSpirit8]

@@kevins.3825 Leviathan is just an amazing metal album in general. Though I do like Crack the skye and Blood Mountain more because they went IN on the progressive aspect. But my favorite on Vinyl is a tie between BM and Leviathan.. Crack the skye is more of a headphone listen.

[@thegoonbats]

That final riff in Seabeast is probably in my top 5 greatest riffs ever... Thank you for doing so well on this breakdown. I loved every second of it. You really helped me understand a lot of parts timing-wise that I was having trouble picking up. Also your tone is....perfect.

[@randomcrandom]

That entire coda for Hearts Alive is one of the heaviest things ever written. Also, as a Neurosis fan, it warmed my heart to hear them get some cred here. Keep up the good work, sir.

[@theodore89]

Excellent work Ben! I really enjoyed you doing a righteous overview of all things Leviathan. Your playing is perfect and you can hear your solid feel as your tempo slips nicely into the pocket accordingly... you are a natural who has put in the hours hence... presenting a beautiful payoff for the listener. I agree with you on "Hearts Alive" though the album is a just 10/10. I was blessed to have enjoyed them touring this release front row at the Troubadour (LA) and the fact that they opened with "Hearts Alive" and finished us off ending with Melvins "The Bit" proving the band should be monitored by music authorities for causing dangerous pleasure overload on an innocent audience lol! Thank you for the superb vid!

[@Yeti_Boop]

This album is solely responsible for my interest in sludge and doom, and it's how I learned to actually play the guitar. There is zero fat on this album, every song, every riff for that matter, is doing something awesome. Plus Brann on drums is a thing to behold in itself. And the mood of the whole thing just makes you feel like you're in the ocean with a bunch of cutthroats chasing a mythical beast. They nailed it.

[@martinopas]

Yeah, the atmosphere they created on the record is unmatched in any other concept I heard. Goosebumps everytime, it's really like living those moments, i can clearly see what every riffs is painting in my brain. And the ispiration for the record all comes down from that beast itself that Brann is (he read the book in 2 days while coming back home during an absurd long plane trip)

[@marcello9476]

It truly is a masterclass in concept albums. The concept is not only featured in the lyrics and track titles, but is actually baked into the music itself which is what elevates it beyond simply a moby dick coat of paint over a metal album.

[@britlitemail]

There's an absolutely iconic low-res camcorder-y video of them in Wilkes Barre, PA, from what must be the same tour you saw them on. The performance of Hearts Alive off it is absolutely amazing (as is the rest of the set, for sure), definitely sad I was a bit young to see them then. Fantastic record, and that track in particular is a favorite of mine too. Thanks for the video!

It makes me so happy to see that Brann hasn’t changed much or even aged over the years.

[@witchbvrner]

11:38 All these years later and that riff is still the bane of my existence on this record. Just listening to it sets my forearm on fire.

[@JJgeetarisst]

Watching Bill and Brent play is a great lesson in economy of motion, especially when they’re hybrid picking. They’ll be playing what sounds like a million notes at a time and their hands and fingers barely move. Legends.

[@mr.steinhaus6014]

One of my guitar go to's. Just love love love the riffage. Intro to Naked Burn is just meaty as F, and of course, Hearts Alive is still Mastodon's best song...

[@DrewT92377]

From this album on Mastodon's releases became complete listening experiences. Song for song, riff for riff, there's nothing from Leviathan to Hushed and Grim that gets skipped. Not many if any bands can pull that off consistently like they have. They've added textures and layers to their music over the years but have never lost what makes them so amazing at their core. Leviathan is definitely up there as their best, along with the next two albums, Blood Mountain and Crack the Skye. I'm still digesting their newest one but with Mastodon it takes time, plus they doubled up on us (not complaining). Troy has to be one of the best heavy vocalists out now. Brents leads are just fkn mind bending. Of course Brann is flat out amazing. The hero though has got to be Bill. His riffs keep evolving and becoming more complex but he seems like an endless well of material? As consistent as Hetfield with the picking skills to match. I endlessly chase their ability to chug away on a driving riff, yet sound like they're laying back at the same time? That "Disposable Heroes" type energy where its just this pummeling gallop, yet sounds like its so deep in the pocket. Easily the greatest metal band of the last 20 years. Thanks for taking us on this journey Uncle Ben!

[@jaeden2806]

Always a good day when Ben does Mastodon. Totally agreed on actually playing Mastodon songs, not like anyone or anything else. So rewarding and fun to play. You could literally learn any section of a song by them and use it to impress people, as well as yourself 😂 Great video:)

[@skullkrusher4418]

Leviathan truly is a metal masterpiece. Amazing songwriting and so diverse.

[@Xari.04]

This has to be one of the most difficult videos to finish I've ever watched. HOLY SHIT, this felt like pure 20 minutes of suffering through heavy withdrawal, I couldn't wait to finish watching just to go blast the entire album (again). Great stuff as always uncle

It's good to see that someone who knows what a guitar is shares the same favorites as me (the whole album)

[@hyperstimmed]

Blood Mountain is the album that got me into Mastodon, but Leviathan made them a favourite forever. At age sixteen, obsessed with guitars, I couldn't help but be amazed by the work from Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher.

[@philipweber404]

One of the absolute greatest albums of all time. I’ll never forget my buddy getting this album and throwing it on and hearing that opening Blood and Thunder riff which just blew me a away.

[@ukwonderboy]

Hearts Alive is by far one of my favourite songs Mastodon have ever written. I find it impossible to skip that song whenever it comes on.

[@SunofShasta]

This album changed my life when I was 14 and made me want to play guitar. I studied the hell out of it in my room for hours on end. I thought if I could achieve playing hearts alive then I would have mastered the instrument.

The first time I heard the intro to hearts alive I was in pure awe, it is still my favorite musical thing I have ever heard

Its the pinnacle of heavy albums for me. The buildup and ending riff to seabeast gets me every time. Great video ben.

[@web2871]

Watching this shortly after seeing them play the whole album on the Ashes of Leviathan tour is really sick.

[@keithbarlow9701]

That pic of you and Brann is awesome. Leviathan is nearly as timeless as Brann's hairstyle+earring combo. I swear he has rocked that look since the late 90s. Same haircut/style and the same exact earrings. Fucking timeless I tell ya. Super nice dude too. I went to a Mastodon show many years and Brann stood in the lobby for an hour shaking hands and chatting with fans before the show.

[@fmorin71234]

I got to see them with Nebula and Clutch at Juanitas Mexican restaurant in Little Rock believe it or not. Smallest venue ever

[@DoctorBollocks]

Around the time Leviathan was released they came to the UK and played a gig at a club in Oxford (the Zodiac) and opened with Hearts Alive. They were flawless and played one of the most amazing and memorable sets I've seen. And then they were kind enough to go on to record album after album of phenomenal music. Your playing in this vid is some of your very best. Cheers!

[@thetribalist6923]

Ben this is a video worthy of this album. I always go back and forth between Blood Mountain and this one on which album is their best. I love how you said they have riffs that just exist only in this band. They really are an island (no pun intended) to themselves in many ways. Edit: they really need to bring Naked Burn into rotation. It’s an incredible song and one that always made me feel like I was at sea. Easily could have been used in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

[@Rooster7six]

Great vid! I started playing like 6 years ago at the ripe ole age of 39 so of course I was on your channel. You introduced me to Mastodon and they quickly became one of my all time faves. Leviathan is my favorite album but love them all. I actually started a sleeve about a month ago (midlife crisis) and it’s based on that album cover. Saw Mastodon live back in November and they killed! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@MacGyver_Lamb]

A very important album in my metal timeline. When my buddy recommended leviathan back in the day I was mostly listening to punk and alternative rock so took me a little while to understand and appreciate but has become one of my all time favs.

[@Hartsele]

Mastodon was a band where I went from knowing pretty much nothing about them... ... to being my favorite band, owning multiple t-shirts and seeing them several times on the same tour in the span of only a year lol. They're just that good. p.s. Your videos have made me such a better guitarist... I don't play like a step-dad anymore. Thanks Uncle Ben.

[@samclemmons5373]

I saw them around 2003 on that tour they did with Clutch. I went to see Clutch and some other bands on the bill but had never heard of Mastodon. It was at a very strange, tiny venue in an abandoned part of downtown. There really wasn’t a stage so I was just standing right there with the band. I’ll never forget Brann’s drumming and the twin guitar stuff they were doing on silverbursts. March of the Fire Ants absolutely blew my mind and shifted my tastes in music that night. I’ve been a fan ever since.

[@RiffKing719]

So without your “Stuff Mastodon Does” video, I wouldn’t be half the guitar player I am today. This is my desert island album, or at least one of them. Your next album video should be on From Mars To Sirius since I believe these bands go hand in hand. Thank you for all the rad stuff Uncle Ben!

Been listening to Mastodon since I was about 10 years old. Have probably listened to Leviathan more times than I could count. While Crack the Skye is my favorite album, Leviathan's riffs are I think Mastodon's most iconic. Like you said about Megalodon, this album just sums up everything about Mastodon you'll ever need to know. The fact that they kept making music after this album is just the cherry on top.
