Lyrics:
I think that someone is trying to kill me
Infecting my blood and destroying my mind
No man of the flesh could ever stop me
The fight for this fish is a fight to the death
White whale - holy grail
What remorseless emperor commands me
I no longer govern my soul
I am completely immersed in darkness
As I turn my body away from the sun
White whale - holy grail
Split your lungs with blood and thunder
When you see the white whale
Break your backs and crack your oars men
If you wish to prevail
This ivory leg is what propels me
Harpoons thrust in the sky
Aim directly for his crooked brow
And look him straight in the eye
White whale - holy grail
White whale - holy grail

Record company "what's the best idea for a video as the songs about Moby Dick"
Mastodon "clowns".
Record company " excellent, here's some money".
That's Mastodon for you
Which is actually genius because the story Moby Dick was specifically written and intended to be a story about nothing abstract. The purpose was to write a story with zero allegory that still had artistic value, which is exactly what this music video and song does. It's freaking brilliant.
Hey let's wear silly hats because they have tassels is the same level of allegory that the White Whale represents, none.
@@UnrealTech9403 Are you serious? Moby Dick is a pretty elaborate critique of American society and values in the 19th century.
@@captainahab1533 Shut up and do more drugs to be more like him
Came here after watching the "Clowning Around" video from Mastodon's channel. Safe to say, that the clown theme is probably Brann's idea
Sweet they improved the graphics of the video! No more 240p resolution!
Different video, they still have the potato quality one. ruclips.net/video/labytsb3gfI/видео.html
@Johndoe Manhole Yeah. Quiet as hell. I'll just play the "provided by RUclips - topic" videos, and sync it to the music video in a different tab and call it a day.
@Johndoe Manhole It's quiet but compared to the old video the audio has improved ten tons
I know this post is old as heck, but they improved the resolution not the graphics. You can't improve the graphics of a video by increasing the video's overall resolution, that's a misunderstanding of what "graphics" are. Graphics is a colloquialism for graphic art. While videos can use graphic arts, they are not themselves graphic arts.
@@Vykk_Draygosemantics We meant what he know
I love this band. Not only are they heavy as shit and artistic, but they have one hell of a sense of humor
Hell yeah! You fully understand Mastadon.
I feel like all the best bands do. Tool says the best way to get a serious message across is to wrap it in humor.
@@tetsusiega2 true
I'm sure you've seen the video where Brann is interviewing Dave Lombardo and pretending that he's Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney f****** hilarious.
WE’RE MAKING IT OUT THE PEQUOD WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
Wish Queqeeng was here to hear this masterpiece
I don't know, this dude named Elijah was making some pretty serious allegations about this group.
Nah, ROCKPORT CITY 🔥🔥🔥
i'm always afraid to watch music videos in fear they'll change my perception of the song, but this was simply fun as hell to watch. great band. insane drums.
Love the song but,
I always pictured epic moby dick kinda stuff, compared to that drunk clowns in a bar is kinda dissapointing...
@@Darqoni Old comment but I feel the same
@@Darqoni same.
At least someone made a meme ages ago with this song, where it's really a whale with captain Ahab and his men. Good enough, I guess.
@@ChainikVlad wait really? is it a video? can you send it?
@@Darqoni search "WHITE WHALE, HOLY GRAIL" by OhLookBirdies (won't send a link though, 100% sure it wouldn't be sended anyway). It really is a shitpost from 2008, but still - kinda impressive.
"Split your lungs with blood and thunder
When you see the white whale
Break your backs and crack your oars men
If you wish to prevail"
so badass man
aaron wish the vid was out at sea instead of clowns haha
I THINK THAT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO KILL ME!
INFECTING MY SOUL AND DESTROYING MY MIND!
Yes, yes it is. Because Neil Fallon is badass!
@@Steely_Fran I think you mean Herman Melville, the writer of Moby Dick.
@@danielgutman5916 No. I meant Neil Fallon of Clutch. The lyrics aaron posted and said were "so badass man" are from the bridge in "Blood and Thunder". Neil Fallon did the vocals for that small part of the song.
This song's been around for 10 years. Does that make it classic?
Damn Right :D
Instant clasic
You hear that epic riff?! It has been classic since its release... \m/
It was an instant classic, to be honest. No need to wait that long.
The day I hear Blood and Thunder on the classic rock and oldies station I'm going to feel really old.
Blood and Thunder sounds like the most heavy-metal chocolate bar ever.
sounds like the most metal tampon
JB Productions
I get "blood", but do I want to know where the thunder comes from?
Samniss Arandeen where does the blood and thunder come from on the chocolate bar?
JB Productions
The same hyperbolic marketing that gets you those Snickers commercials.
Samniss Arandeen ok then lol
That bastard... Has to be alive still.
Fishmael Schizoposting season 🐟
WE FUCKING AHAB WITH THIS ONE
@@mitozzz9611 certified hag lover (based)
Holy shit. NFS Most Wanted nostalgia just kicked me in the face.
The same happened to me, and more, Hand of Blood by Bullet For My Valentine and Skinnyman from Static-X is pure nostalgic too! Hell yeah \m/
Mateus Mendes Yeaaah! Don't forget Blinded In Chains - A7X! ;)
Never! A7X too, OMG this is so nostalgic, the blacklist with #15 rivals, pure metal and rock, awesome cars and emotion, Perfect :D After that Need For Speed nevermind was the same ;'(
Mateus Mendes I agree. The song choice was so much better back then! However I do remember Almost Easy by Avenged being on NFS: Pro Street.
Yeah i remember this song on Pro Street too, another good NFS. And Underground 2 have some songs cools to, like the Killradio - Scavenger, Septembre -I am Weightless and Queens Of The Stone Age
Okay but Ishmael snapping is peak kino.
NFS Most Wanted, I miss you.
Somewhere, in writers hell, Hermin Melville has heard this album, and is smiling from ear to bearded ear.
did any one notice the 0:59 point he's windmilling the tassel on his fez?
Fucking awesome
anonymous i bet you have some fucked up things in your basement dont you?
@anonymous don't turn this into your gross internet backwater dirty chat hole.
instead, type it loud and proud! in youtube comments
Crazy idiots in the chat!!!
That drum beat at 2:00 is godly, Brann you are godly.
I always come back to this song, but the fact that makes me want to listen to it again, is that drummer.
I'm a drummer too and is amazing to pay attention to the detail and the fast way he plays.
The song at all is amazing, but the drummer i think give it the "touch".
Just try to pay attention to the drums at the start at the minute 0:15... that guy is the fucking blood and thunder.
This shit is fucking perfect...Thick ass riffs crushing vocals and hella drum fills plus guitar duels shit u can't go wrong lmao
The mosh pits aren't this wild but at the last show I went to I saw a guy that was like 6'9" in a taylor swift shirt in the pit and I though that was crazy
love it,Visually stunning and musically inspiring.I'm 61 and very critical of bands,growing up with the Beatles,Led Zepplin,Jimmy Hendrix,Jeff Beck etc,these guys are good.
Stfu 😂😂 nobody gives a damn
Dang your 70 now are you still alive?
Bands nowadays are still every bit as good as they were back in the day, you just need to know where to find them
@@lorz8940 Yes, there are plenty of good bands.
72 I grew up in southern Calif . Woodstock was an incredible experience.
The Big Short brought me here. Great music
Im'ma listen to this while reading Moby Dick
I Really like the Mastodon style in their music, Blood and Thunder is one of my favorite songs on the Leviathan album.
Love this song.
The frontman has a really nice voice.
*The lyrics:* Captain Ahab’s feverish obsession with finding and slaying Moby Dick to avenge the loss of his leg
*The video:* Party at the circus
I hope people understand that this is the most important song of the 21st century.
the most important comment of our generation
@ the most important reply for a millennium
bruh they literally yoinked the main riff from In flames lol
God, this looked like pure mayhem to shoot - total chaotic clown fun. One of the best songs, bar none.
It's shot at star bar in little five points Atlanta. Great fuckin bar!!!
Whenever I am in an angry mood & need to vent peacefully - I play me some MASTODON etc. Love these guys!
I like your new avatar bro?
01hulu Thanks mate.
It just reflects my mood. Been dealing with a stack of anti-Catholic bigots recently & just now an SSPX 'Catholic' who said I was "an intractable enemy of the One True God" plus that I was going to hell!!!!?
Unreal. In a world gone crazy with islamic extremists proliferating, fellow 'christians' & 'Catholics' insulting & squabbling with one another.
I removed the person whose page it was from my 'Following' as it was not him but some follower called Annabelle Tomassi.
Hope you are well my friend?
*****
Tell me about it...The Catholic Church is being attacked from all sides and beliefs, and they are often teaming up in insulting and demeaning our beloved Church.
I know what you mean, there are bad and good days but thank God we have found His unchanging truth in His Church.
Hope you are well too and may God bless all your activities my friend.
01hulu Nice, kind words my Brother in Christ!
***** Hey dude, much respect for your loyalty to God, but please, from a brother in Christ, do some research into the Catholic church... I do not want too say to much, so as to be offensive, but I do not believe that their way is the true way. Pope Francis said people do not even have to believe in Christ to go to heaven, which is a direct contradiction to what Christ himself said in John 14:6
NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED PS2
The clown in the white sailor costume and green beard is the most badass clown I've ever seen.
Isn't it Neil Fallen from Clutch doing the vocals?
-"Dude, I got free tickets to see Mastodon!"
-"Sweet, where at?!"
-"At a circus and there's nothing but clowns in the audience."
-"Yeah I'm not going."
I remember Leviathan being the album that really got me listening to Mastodon. When I first heard it, it blew me away. Mastodon remains one of my favorite bands of all time. I even like the new shit.
why tf cant the video be like ship sinking while being devoured by a whale. certainly more metal than clowns
It's comedy
WHAT THE HELL THEY'RE NOT EVEN IN THE OCEAN. WHERE'S AHAB.
Interesting video....but what does this have to do with Moby Dick?
Just a fun and ridiculous video! :D
Either that, or the entire scene of oddities and clowns represents the mind of Ahab; madness, desire, great depression, rot, et cetera plague him of his every moment driving him deeper into the madness he'd already been consumed in.
And Mastadon is there too, just because.
SlamifiedBuddafied Sounds about right
I believe the medically proper term is, "Moby Penis".
Shoutout to Neil Fallon and his ivory leg.
2:25 The Elephant Man.
I didn't think this song could get any better, then I see it in HD...
Song about Moby Dick, video about clowns.
DivinumX lol shhshdhhc
Guest vocals by Neil Fallon of Clutch. I don’t think that he’s the clown though.
He's not he the voice but he's actually in shades over by the bar
Its the singer from nurosis
@@kayakkong7884 scott kelly
@@jeepmanxj The clown?
@@heypistolero yea
I love the drums in this, specially in the intro when the heavier version of that riff comes in!
Love you, relapse records. Thank you for all the free content!
First Mastodon song I heard and it was love!
The best songs never get old...
One of the best songs ever made!
Loved it when this came on MTV way back when i was a kid.
Anyone else notice this is shot at Star Bar in Little Five Points in Atlanta? Who else has seen free comedy on Mondays, fantastic shows, played there, and been hella drunk at Star Bar?? Just me?? Great fuckin place, killer video. Long live Star Bar!!!
If you're still watching this in 2016 it's now 100% more creepy.
TheBrokenStairs I'm watching it in 2016 and it is more creepy
yyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
More like watching in 2017.
forever
the killer clown stuff over halloween last year dude
Damn. The Shriners go hard! Definitely joining now!
Every time I'd hear an NPC in WoW/WarCraft say "Blood and Thunder!", it'd remind me of this track. Lok'tar Ogar! \m/
Song: An epic picture of the deranged and vengeful sea captain devoting all his resolve and willpower to kill the whale that took his leg.
Music video: clown party
I figured I wasn’t the first person to point that out 😂
I saw them play this live yesterday with Neil Fallon of clutch Doing some guest vocals!
I love this song and the entire album suddenly. What the hell was wrong with me all those years ago when it came out!?! Great band
Leviathan will always be the greatest Mastodon album.
This is probably the most headbangable song I have ever heard! Pure quality, love Mastodon!
Thanks for the re-up!
we all know what the *real* music video is.
I love this song! ❤
2004 was a wild year
At last a proper official HD version!
Thanks a LOT!
I'm crying metal tears of joy here!
awesome song
great riff! 🎸🤘🔥
song and video... simply perfect
One of the most favorites!
The perfect metal song doesn't exi... oh, wait!
One of the best riffs of all time.
Bill really has been a riff machine from the beginning. This song still goes so fucking hard
This song easily has one of my favorite bridges of all time
4:20 video...aww yeah
Same with High Road :)
Here's some trivia for ya!
The bridge of this song was actually sung by Neil Fallon, the vocalist of Clutch
Here's some other trivia for ya- this video was shot at Star Bar in Little Five Points, Atlanta, GA. Killer bar. Best comedy on Monday nights.
I think this is the best snare I've ever heard anywhere.
Oh man, this is so much better than the other video's audio.
Mastodon lyrics are always blow my mind and make me think man. I love this band, they are extreamly creative and never putout shit music.
damn markiplier goin a bit crazy now
Thanks for that link man!
That's fkn awesome!
been waiting for this!!
Y como siempre, el comentario en español...
Pedazo de banda wn!
si wn, la raja.
What are you saying? I don't understand taka taka.
Yeah!
...
1:43 post malone before fame
Amo esta cancion amo este album...y comence a amar esta banda...YEAH aguante el metal!
Love this song.
It breaks my heart that Niel Fallon isn't in this video for his vocals during the bridge. My absolute fucking favorite part of this track, so primal.
Yeah but Puddles the clown really did the part justice, that's my favorite part of the video
He's in the video in shades over at the bar. This was shot at Star Bar in Little 5 Points ATL
CURSE YOU BAAAAYLE!!!
oh man HD..thank you thank you
Makes me proud to be from Augusta Ga! All hail Mastodon!
Unpopular opinion but I miss Troy Sanders vocals and their heavier stuff....Brann Dailor is absolutely one of the best prog drummers of all time and has an incredible voice. Obviously they don't want to stagnate as musicians. Personally but I'm WAY more into this rougher and heavier Mastodon!
if i knew the shriners were that metal i'd join in a second
Wow. This is barely the second song of Mastodon's I've heard. What rock was I living under that I didn't know about them.
When this song comes on while at the gym, its GO TIME
Muito foda!
2021: ainda soa foda pra caralho!
What a magnificent piece of mastery! \m/
This is the first video I ever saw of Mastodon. I remember trying to figure out what the hell I was watching and why I liked it so much...
Clussy
The worlds first ever
One of my all time favourites 🤘😠🤘 "The fight for this fish is a fight to the death"
Love this song, so badass
NFS MW
Great Hit in my infance (sorry mi english i'm Brazilian Hue)
+Punx JustJunk infance :v
Childhood =infância
Punx JustJunk Infance kkkkkkkkkk
acerto mizeravi
a força BR
my kind of party.
greatest heavy metal video ever made.
Like their amazing music, Mastodon videos are always a mindfuck.
Every time I listened to this song until this point I visualized this video as them being on top of a snowy mountain fighting dragons, the last thing I expected was a circus lol.
Ricky X I was wondering what a song about an obsession of killing Moby Dick would have to do with snowy mountains and dragons, but then I remembered that this video consists purely of strippers and clowns.
This song has more of an "epic battle at sea" sound to it
@@spacepirate2620 They ARE at sea... this is the belowdecks party before the whale is sighted
CURSE YOU BAAAAAAAAAYLE
I HEREBY VOW! YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY!
BEHOLD, A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR! AND I, IGON!
YOUR FEARS MADE FLESH!
SOLID OF SCALE YOU MIGHT BE, FOUL DRAGON.
BUT I WILL RIDDLE WITH HOLES YOUR ROTTEN HIDE!
WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS!
WITH EVERY LAST DROP OF MY BEING!
GRAAAAAAARGH!
