Mastodon has taken hold of the leadership of the new wave of progressive heavy metal. The band's 2006 major label debut "Blood Mountain" spun off a Grammy nomination and earned top 5 best album of the year nods from Kerrang!, Revolver and Metal Hammer, and a top 10 at Rolling Stone. Now "Crack The Skye," its fourth original studio album, mines subject matter from czarist Russia and astral travel to out-of-body experiences and Stephen Hawking's theories on wormholes for an unrepentantly heavy aural assault that will shake the heavens. Now available on vinyl.
