Vin and Sori React and Breakdown Mastodon Oblivion!! patreon.com/vinandsori
This song is about the drummers sister Skye. Hence then album title “Crack the Skye”. She died from an overdose I believe. The song is about his guilt for not being there for her. The line about digging into the ground, was a reference to when the drummer was on L.S.D and he though she was still alive and he tried to dig her from her grave.
Damn
@juhaliza correct
Dailor has also said that "Crack the Skye" is meant as an homage to his sister, Skye Dailor, who committed suicide at age 14.
"My sister passed away when I was a teenager and it was awful, and there's no better way to pay tribute to a lost loved one than having an opportunity to be in a group with my friends and we make art together. Her name was Skye, so Crack the Skye means a lot of different things. For me personally, it means the moment of being told you lost someone dear to you, [that moment] is enough to crack the sky."

The whole entire album is about the whole entire thing. To explain it in depth, on the surface the album is a concept about a quadrepalegic boy who astral projects into space. He flies beyond the sun, cutting the golden umbilical cord connecting him to his body, so he's sort of a spirit lost in the swirl of time-space. Some shamans come together to perform a ritual to summon his spirit, and they summon him into their time, the shaman being the people who had just assassinated the Czar Rasputin in Russia in the early 1900s. The boy meets the spirit of Rasputin shortly after he dies, and Rasputin helps guide him back to his body. Beyond that surface level, it's supposed to have a double meaning of a cathartic outlet for Brann Dailor wishing he could project himself back in time and save his sisters life, giving himself instead. ""The martyr is ending his life for mine""
There's all sorts of other levels like how Brann was laying on her grave after trying to dig it up and looked up in the sky and saw his sisters face in the stars "I see your face in constellations", etc etc. and yeah. There you have it. It's very heavy stuff, which is why they usually don't play anything off that album live anymore. The sheer emotional weight of having to perform songs about that topic.
She committed suicide!
One of my best live experiences was seeing this band perform this album front to back. Incredible album
Saw this performed live when the album came out (with the whole movie the have for the album). I was there to see Dethklok but became a Mastodon fan some time after seeing them live.
You guys are actually changing how I watch reaction videos. I know this is probably a little narrow-minded, but I only ever used to watch reaction videos for songs or bands that I like because I was only interested to see how someone’s reaction might compare to my own. But with you guys, I’ve started watching your reaction videos whether I know the song or not because I find your conversations afterwards so interested, particularly as they usually pertain to your beliefs and experiences outside of the music alone. I’m sure I’m going to be discovering new music along the road, now, so thank you in advance!
Give us your suggestions my friend that’s how we all grow together !
VinAnd Sori well if I may take that invitation to recommend a band you’ve probably not heard of, there’s a great Swedish band called Avatar and, lyrically, I think you’d enjoy their song “When The Snow Lies Red”. Thanks!
Sketchy Magpie dude yes! Hail the Apocalypse, please react to this song!!
The guy singing on the chorus is different from the guy singing the rest of the song. The chorus is freaking epic
One of the coolest parts of Mastodon is that 3 of the 4 members of the band do vocals equally. So you got to hear Brann, Brent and Troy do vocals. A really really great band.
Pretty spot on. The drummer/singer sets the song and the album (it's a concept album) up as
"There is a paraplegic and the only way that he can go anywhere is if he astral travels. He goes out of his body, into outer space and a bit like Icarus, he goes too close to the sun, burning off the golden umbilical cord that is attached to his solar plexus." The song (and album) are also deeper in that they also deal with a family member who passed when he was younger.
Wow
The entire album is actually about Skye, the concept album was a cover story because Brann didn't want to talk about it publically. The "I tried to burrough into the ground, breaking all the nails and fingers from my hands" is a true story, after she died, he tried to dig up her grave to tell her he was sorry in an alcohol fueled depression rage.
" Oblivion" is about Brann Dailors younger sister who committed suicide after being bullied and doubted for her Chronic Fatigue Disorder.
Skye is actually mentioned on the national cfs site if I recall.
The way she died, the reasons why and Brann crafting a mystical fantasy story around it for catharsis is what makes Oblivion and the album storyline unique.
REVIEW THE WHOLE ALBUM!!!
100 percent right. If you watch live at the Aragon there is a whole video presentation telling the astral projection story
I literally just lost a very good friend this past Saturday. This song.....man....
Sorry for your loss big homie 😢
James McClellan sorry for your loss man. It's hard. My best friend abandoned his semi in Iowa Sunday, left a note and just took off. He expressed intent to commit suicide, and we can't find him anywhere.
MetaliTransport Sorry to hear that man. My friend had a heart attack after getting bad news sitting in his car playing Ingress. Texts me goodbye while he's dying and we didn't find him until three days later. Was pretty hard.
James McClellan man.
*big hugs for both of you!* James I'm sorry for your loss and MetaliTransport I hope you find you friend safe and sound and he can get the help he needs. Much love
There's three different vocalists on this song (their bassist, lead guitarist and drummer all sing), so it contrasts nicely.
Didnt know that
Christopher Clayton That’s actually pretty cool
i dont think its the bassist?
Oktopuss You hear Brann first on the track and then Troy joins during the bridge to the chorus, and the chorus is sung by Brent.
Oktopuss Troy is the main vocalist and he’s the bassist so
Death-Flesh and the Power it Holds!
during their last livestream they said that death was on their list. im very excited for their reaction!
That's great! Do you know what song they're doing?
SPI-RIT CRUSHEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRR!!
no clue i hope flesh and the power it holds, but spirit crusher would be awesome to
voice of the soul as like a bonus thing would be sic to
If you want more mastodon, check out the czar. love that song.
This Is Jeff excellent song, completely makes me forget it's like 10 minutes long
The fucking solo in that song is insane
or the last baron
Sori if u didn't know, there's 3 Vocalist in Mastodon. Guitarist, Bassist and the Drummer, later since 2009s Crack The Skye :D
4. Bill screams sometimes, lol.
I always thought that was so cool. I've heard plenty of thrash bands do gang vocals where the whole band shouts & stuff, and also bands like Ensiferum & Turisas who do the group chorus things. But, I don't think there are any other bands where more than two members all do lead vocals like this.
Also, Vin & Sori, Brann (Drummer) sings the verse, Troy (Bassist) sings the pre-chorus & Brent (guitarist) sings the chorus.
The more stuff you hear, you'll eventually learn to differentiate between them. Troy's got a raspy/strained-sounding voice, Brann does the higher singing stuff & Brent's got that country twang, but also screams sometimes.
Also, anything pre-2009 (Crack The Skye) won't have Brann in it. Vocally, that was kinda his debut.
Xero Delacroix His vocals live are monstrous lol. I wish he actually did them on the albums.
His voice reminds me of that one part on Blood & Thunder.
SKULLEDBUICK And also Crack the Skye is a very personal Album to Brann, since Skye was the name of his sister who commited suicide because she was bullied, thats also the reason why the title of the album is Crack the Skye, since her bullied tried and succeed in breaking her
The Contortionist - Language I: Intuition & Language II: Conspire
Intuition is dope, I’d recommend flourish by the contortionist 🤘🏽
He got the Icarus reference 🙌
Boss!
Doug, If you didn’t think Vin would catch that, we are gonna need you to watch more videos brotha.
Bahhh hahhha right!-Sori✌🏻
VinAnd Sori .....seriously for Vin thats a layup.
Hhahah ABSOLUTELY!! Smart as fuck...sexy as hell! -Sori✌🏻
Hell yes! I've been waiting for Jaguar God, but I'll take this as a consolation. :)
The thing that gets me about the reason that most people don't like Mastodon, it's the same reason that people like some other bands. Mastodon has changed their theme, their style over the years, and that irritates a lot of the fans that were around at the beginning of their career. I never try to look at a band releasing a new album as, "oh, it better have the same sound as the last album!" I'm all for experimentation with music and I may not like every song that a band puts out once they changed their style up, but I think it's important to be able to have those options available. It makes things interesting. Why keep it all the same?
MetaliTransport I like to compare them to Deftones in that regard. Of course Musicwise these are two worlds but both bands started very hard, very heavy and changed it to sth "calmer" more atmospheric imo. And its more like both bands also have kinda transcended beyond their Defining Genre into a Style of their own.
I loved their late work. The same thing happened with The Gathering....I also loved their later stuff.
A lot of the change in their sound was planned due to themes of the albums earth, air, fire, and water. Not all of their albums have had themes, but 4 sounded different due to the themes.
MetaliTransport The biggest criticism I've heard from people about Mastodon's sound is that their progressions in a lot of songs (mainly in the earlier albums) were too jarring, like they just jammed three or four songs together. My criticism with them is that they've oversimplified their sound since The Hunter. I've got the same problem with Clutch.
makes me think of Tool. i never liked them growing up but as i went through life. i realized how much each album means something to me..Opiate and Undertow.. raw loud and emotional. AEnema the dark depressing side of life.. at times feeling completely broken and lost.. Lateralus is the growing of my spiritual side of life and realizing what it means to be alive.. thats what i get out of them. 10000 days is amazing too.
Winner of the most tempo changes in a contemporary metal hit. For real though, Mastodon are the truth. You can’t go wrong.
The partial story behind this song is how the drummers sister accidentally overdosed as a young child when he was supposed to be watching her. She was bullied at school and came home and took a bunch of pills. He was so down he tried to dig her up which explain the breaking of the fingers and the nails from his hands
Awesome to see you guys checking out Mastodon! Seeing them this Friday with Primus. Crack the Skye is one of those albums that need to be listened to in completion. It's a journey.
Also, Clutch is one of their major influences and they tour together from time to time.
Yep, what a closer The Last Baron is.
The Last Baron is my favorite part of the album. When they played it live at one of their shows, I could have melted into the earth from excitement
The only Mastodon song I've heard is "The Last Baron." Have I been spoiled, or is that whole album great?
Kevin L. The whole album is an experience, Id definitely check it out.
Vin, you are so right, that chorus is AMAZING! Its the reason I absolutely love this song
There are super heavy songs from this band though. Check out Blood and Thunder!
Or Mother Puncher... Or Crusher Destroyer... or Trilobite or Lifesblood... the first Demos and Remission were the heaviest shit. That said I also ADORE their proggier side on Blood Mountain and Crack the skye... I'M not too keen on The Hunter and OMTS, although OMTS and EMperor of Sand are pretty solid again in my book.
They just need to check out IRON TUSK.
Nolan Void I agree iron tusk over blood and thunder, they are almost identical in awesomeness
Island, The Wolf is Loose, and Circle of Cysquatch are all pretty heavy and crazy.
Flint Cole *Capallarian Crest is also awesome. Blood Mountain!!!
Didn’t look through all of the comments, but the reference to dying young has to do with the drummer (Brann)’s sister. Her name was Skye - Crack the Skye. Just FYI.
Damn
VinAnd Sori yep. Mastodon’s newest album is heavily influenced by Bill’s (guitarist) mother’s cancer, and her subsequent passing.
I love that you reacted to this song. Regardless of the aesthetics (though they have a really cool 3 singer dynamic) the song is super personal to Brann. Here's some details regarding the song's lyrics and why they are so tragic: doroteathegreat.blogspot.com/2009/08/who-is-skye-dailor.html I hope you check out and appreciate this band's courage and vulnerability to make such music
VinAnd Sori She comitted suicide at 14, I believe.
Nope i think it was about bret's accident few years ago
Love the band ,”3 vocalists” ya never get bored ,awesome live and the art work is amazing stuff.
This has always been one of my favorite songs by Mastodon. So glad you got a chance to experience it.
NIGHTWISH "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013 (84,000+ in attendance).
NIGHTWISH "Poet and the Pendulum" live at Wembly 2015 (2 nights with 90,000+ each night).
You guys are so real. I tend not to get to involved in conversations and stuff in the village but honestly the whole community brings some sort of peace to my mind. Much love to all of you.
Do Mastodon - Roots Remain if you guys want to check out more of their music. Amazing song, i promise you won't be disappointed :) Greetings from Chile!
Or Blood and Thunder!
Or Jaguar God!
I think animals that are in the wild, trying to survive every day, understands and thinks about death. Trying not to die is a universal situation. When Elephants display sadness at the death of one of their group, or the touching of their bones with those displays, are deeper than what we give credit for.
I remember my youth and not experiencing death yet, thinking I was invincible. When my father died back when I was like 17 it changed me for good. Before that death was just something that happened to people sooner or later. To be honest when my father was alive I don't think that I truly believed he would die. Death had not happened yet so it's sting had yet to impale. My mom died years later, then my aunt, grandparents and some friends. I think part of innocence is the lack of loss. As a child I had no fear ...now well, fear is everywhere and it is real. Great reaction. Sad song. Peace.
Like I have said before, Vin, you are so so smart man, you picked up way more of the metaphoric references than I ever would have.
Based on what other comments say about he meaning, you nailed it man.
Thanks man! Lucky guesses
Dimmu Borgir - Serpentine Offering
Me and that man (any song)
Demon Hunter - Storm the Gates of Hell
Impending doom - Death. ascension. resurrection
Johnathan Davis - What it is
Devin Townsend - Stormbending
King 810 - Trauma Model
So glad yall did this.
Other amazing Mastodon songs:
-Last Baron
-Chimes at midnight
-roots remain
-Crack the skye
YES! Finally you get to my fave band, and from my fave record at that. Crack the Skye is amazing. Can't wait to see you review more by this band. Please?!
Spilled my coffee while headbanging to this song 😂😂 Mastodon rocks! If you want heavier Mastodon check out Blood and Thunder, it has some serious riffing. And Sori is right! The drumming is insanely good. Brann Dailor is one of the very best.
Israel Thacker What does Troy always say? Has to keep checking on the octopus on the drums to make sure it's still human or something like that 😂
Brann is incredible, and he's managed to record each new album sounding like he's doing less and yet somehow better than on the previous one... Check out today is the day's in the eyes of God album. Brann's drumming is ridiculous on that album. Makes remission seem lazy... Also vin and Sori: today is the day, in the eyes of God. Awesome song.
Reign of darkness- Thy art is murder (music video)
Land of snow and sorrow- Wintersun
Carbon phrases- Alkaloid
Crushed- Parkway Drive
I'm gonna spam this on every video
Mastodon was always hit and miss with me.. But they are an undoubtably amazing band. Definitely talented and really good live. Seeing them live made me like them much more.
The album "Crack the Skye" was written, in part, as a dedication to the drummer, Brann Dailor's sister, Skye. She committed suicide at age 14. Oblivion is the lead track on the record, so that likely informs the lyrics.
Its funny. Her reaction was essentially my reaction to this channel. I didnt think id like it but the more videos i watched the more it grew on me and i liked it more and more. Keep up the great stuff
Mastadon, another one of my favorite bands, sooo good! The song is sad about one of the band members sister passed away. Grammy winners Mastadon.
Tool Salival version of Pushit is incredible.. very emotional buildup about a relationship that will only end in tragedy.. anyone agree? thumb up for reaction.. love reactions. thanks Vin and Sori!
M Gonzalez Don't you think they should hear the original first? Hearing the Salival recording afterwards really really REALLY blew me away
Gojira Rules thats true.. ive heard the original plenty of times but it wasnt one of my better tracks from that album and Pushit Salival is one of my favorite all time.
and Fuck yeah Gojira Rules and crushes one of the best bands around today
It's better appriciated after knowing the studio version, which is still one of my favorite songs.
Gojira Rules i would agree they gotta do the original first
Best version of the best song ever.
For me Mastodon is a band that I have to hear multiple times to fully digest it and appreciate the amazing depth of their music.
I heard somewhere that this was about someone who is paralyzed who is dreaming / astral traveling as a form of escape but he goes to far breaking totally free from his physical self unable to ever return to the physical world hence, lost in oblivion
The gold refers to this umbilical cord that keeps you tethered to your body during astral projection. He flies too far and burns it and becomes lost. Later in the album he makes a deal to receive another body from a martyr
DEATH - BITE THE PAIN
I think "Crack the Skye" is Mastodon's best album. It's absolutely beautiful! Blew me away when it came out. Glad you guys did this one for a Mastodon reaction. More relevant to what the band has become sound wise. Lovin' it guys!
Mastodon are, without a doubt, the current kings of Progressive Metal.
First, I have to say THANK YOU for FINALLY getting to this song and say once again, how much I love listening to and watching you both break down these songs lyrically; I just don't always have 40+ minutes to spend with you( sad face)
This song is about Brann Dailor's (The drummer's ) little sister who commited suicide at a VERY young age. Her name was Skye, hence the album title: Crack The Skye. If and when you have time, check out their previous release; Leviathan which is based on Moby Dick.
This song Oblivion always resonated with me ; at 8 years old my best friends older brother hung himself at age 13. Their parents went through a NASTY, BITTER divorce and both boys were caught in the middle (Mom was hostile to their father and often took it out on them). My friend and I were practically raised together since we were in pre school so, again we were extended family( one got ass whoopin from mom. ALL of us did). Anyway, the death was hard on everyone. Suicide in particular just leaves everyone in shambles just due to so much left unanswered and unresolved. My own father died alone and in misery; he was an alcoholic diabetic and estranged from the family due to his own refusal to seek help and his abusive nature when drunk. We all go though tragedy......thank you both so much for being amazing...btw: MASON JAR @10:26!!!😀
Oh I can't wait to see that :P I love some Mastodon and I love some Vin and Sori so I love this video.
Black Sabbath - N.I.B. :3
The song was written by the drummer, who sings the verses, about his sister who died months before
Momento Mori - a renaissance and ongoing art movement that depicts death or death-related objects as a way to remind you to live your best life, as it is finite. So reflecting on death can indeed celebrate life.
Mastodons new song “Sultans Curse” won metal song of the year last year. I’m not a fan of theirs but I really like it. Would love to see you guys react to it. As always, love the reactions!
woaw, i ve been listening to this song for quite the years now, but you really helped me to truly understand it now. Thankies. Also,more Mastodon :)
Dimmu borgir progenies of the great apocalypse! Or any Dimmu song plz
Please do an Underground reaction to the Canadian band Anciients. Stylistically they are Mastodon + death metal-era Opeth. Very good stuff :)
Also another level the album has a story about someone who's paralyzed. And they he gets a out is by astral traveling so the line where he says "I flew beyond the sun before it was time" he's talking about how the chord connecting his spirit and his body together gets burnt off and sends him on this whole journey blah blah blah, anyhoo that's what that line means, also the guy singing in the start of the song is the drummer Brann Dailor who is my favourite singer in Mastodon, I love his voice alot
That chourus got me too. The more you listen to this song the better it gets.
Been pretty addicted to y’alls channel all week.. just been binge watching your videos. Love how you guys break down each song and give different takes on it.
Still waiting on Bringer of War by Tremonti.. I WILL NOT REST. Rock on
Bret hinds wrote that song during his recovery from a motorcycle accident, i think he actually wrote on his girlfriend's house. So basically it was kind of bret's regrets and depression in life compiled into one song. That accident must have made him remember that he has alot to loose in life. Funny how someone's dark times can turn into a big hit. This became one of their best songs. And correct me if im wrong but i think they are the only metal band right now which 4 of the members are actually singing too.and yes clutch and mastodon are kinda the same. Cause mastodon's genre is sludge metal. And clutch is stoner rock. Sludge is basically the heavier version of stoner rock.
*Volumes- Edge of the Earth*
*Veil of Maya- Leeloo*
*Reflections- Actias Luna*
*After The Burial- Laurentian Ghosts*
For 1. can't wait for the btbam upload.2 Mastadon should be on the main stage.
(From experience)Their live show is way more entertaining when the house sound guy is doing his job haha!
Mastodon use to be super heavy, but they've been going through the "trying to find our own style" all 4 band members sing at certain times, in this song it's just the Drummer, Bassist, and Lead Guitarist, Next song you need to hear is either Blood and thunder, or Crack the skye. Oblivion is from the album "Crack the Skye", the whole album was written about the Drummer (Brann)'s sister (Skye) who killed herself when he was a child.
That chorus is so good
Haken - The Endless Knot. And Periphary - The Bad Thing. Please 🙂
That was my reaction to Mastodon at first, too, absolutely hated them at first and after a while started to dig their stuff.
Mastodoooon hell yeah! Great musicians! Saw them live last year!
Also highly recommend his solo album Gone is Gone - Echolocation (2017!)
solo album of mastodon? that make no sense xD, but i google it, troy sanders it is, i have to check it
Worth getting checked out! Enjoy!
you should check Giraffe Tongue Orchestra - Broken lines (2016), with Bret Hinds on guitar, not a solo project, more like a supergroup, i mean mastodon, alice in chain, the mars volta, the dillinger escape plan and dethlock members, pretty good album
Mastodon: motherload, blood and thunder, the czar, tread lightly, March of the fire ants, this mortal soil, Siberian divide, circle of cysquatch, curl of the burl, octopus has no friends and a big etc....
Look them up guys
that smoke detector... im gonna keep bugging you guys till you fix it....
Vin I agree, before i was a full blooded metalhead I thought Mastodon was like death metal vocals, BOY was I wrong. Not that theres anything wrong with extreme vocals (I love Gojira, Opeth, Death, Jinjer etc..), but I was not expecting Mastodon to sound like this and I LOVE IT. They are now one of my favorite bands.
What you expected Mastodon to sound like is what their first album sounds like: Pure. Fucking. Chaos.
The album this is from can be interpreted in different ways. it's a concept album with a crazy space/astral projection/time travel story but also a tribute to the drummer's sister "Skye" who killed herself when she was just 14. The album is called "Crack the Sky" but Sky is spelled with a e at the end. So there may be references in this song to his sister.
This song is also about being lost in space.
Wow. Brutal
daedalus by thrice is another song about the icarus myth, but told from the father "daedalus"'s perspective. it's a really good song.
Mastodon - Sleeping Giant
Yeah! Nice tattoo btw
What is crazy is the drummer does the main vocal on this. These guys have 3 dudes that can really do lead singing type vocals. Excellent song. Check out the live version
Another excellent job Vin. Way to interpret the lyrics without knowing their story.
Thank you Guys for Reviewing this song!
You were quite close to being spot on; *_"I tried to burrow a hole into the ground / Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hands"_* -- (from: genius.com/3019541 ) : "This line is about Brann Dailor’s sister, and is a reference to something that actually happened to him. After her death, he developed a painful drug addiction, and one night while extremely high he found her grave and started desperately digging to find her coffin, as he couldn’t believe that she was dead. He gave up halfway and lay down in the dirt, looking upward, and had a vision of his sister looking down at him from the stars, telling him that everything would be okay (this latter part is referenced multiple times later on the album)."
Nightwish = Ghost Love Score
The best thing about this band is that they release new stuff all the time. Check some of the newer stuff like Sultan's Curse or Toe to Toes
Just seen Mastodon and Primus in Chicago.. Was dope as!!
I will never ever get tired of this song...ever. ⚡🔥🤘
Know which song you wouldn't have a bad experience reviewing? Twilight of the Thunder God by Amon Amarth.
Zach Kale have you seen the sabaton and amon amarth version both bands were combined into one its great thorgasm is real
Faith No More- The Real Thing!!
Been enjoying your video reactions for a bit and love them. You guys let me see a different pov. As a spiritual person who loves different ideologies this is so binge worthy hahah. If I may, you guys should listen to nightbringers the black dahlia murder their lyricist is a very well read dude who appreciates letter. Also try out Lamb of God, specifically their older work.
Alan C. They've already done 11th Hour. Judging by that video, I think they're already familiar with their stuff.
SKULLEDBUICK still binging their stuff haha I'll get to it soon then lol
The Black Dahlia Murder have way better songs than Nightbringers to react to.
Into The Everblack, Christ Deformed, Carbonized in Cruciform, Their Beloved Absente etc.
Their albums have a theme to the elements! Crack the sky is air and space! Nightmare is fire, blood mountain is earth, leviathan is water, emperor of sand is time and once more around the sun is the aether!
For the underground show. Either In De Naam Van De Duivel or The Possession Process by Carach Angren. They're a symphonic black metal band that writes their albums as horror stories. These two work as stand alone songs though. Think you guys will love em.
And Babel's Gate by Septic Flesh. Symphonic Death metal and you'd get a kick out of the lyrics.
Also you guys need to do the whole of Damnation And A Day by Cradle Of Filth. Best Cradle album in my opinion and the album tells the story of Satan before his fall all the way to his defeat. Seeing how you guys dissect this stuff is amazing.
Verse is Brann Dailor, the drummer. Bridge is Troy Sanders, the bassist. Chorus is Brent Hinds, the lead guitarist.
how funny that they are friends with Clutch and have featured the vocalist TWICE iirc
Not sure if anyone else has stated this so far, but I'll add my understanding here.
Flew beyond the sun before it was time - this is a reference to Astral Projection. The narrator is talking about floating through space astrally, beyond their body.
Burning all the gold that held me inside my shell - the gold cord that connects the astral self to the physical self.
Effectively, when that gold cord, or connection, is burned away you have trouble getting back to your body. The narrator is now floating through the oblivion of space. And this is at a moment of sadness, and reflection, on a specific event in their life. I believe it all references the loss of a family member.
I love the depth you both will go in trying to understand the lyrics and themes in all the songs you review, but especially in metal. Often overlooked or misunderstood, metal is deep and meaningful, effectively the antithesis of most pop music.
Primus-my name is mud
or we could all just talk about how shit that band is now
This album is an homage to brann dailors sister who committed suicide when she was 14 years old. Her name was Skye. The album was called crack the Skye. This song is the 1st track of the album.
Speaking of Clutch, Blood and Thunder has Neil, the singer from Clutch on there doing the chorus.
SUFFOCATION-FUNERAL INCEPTION!!!! 🤘 You won't be disappointed
Maximum The Hormone - “Hey People”
I guess you guys would really enjoy Mastodons ''Jaguar God'' I really love your song reviews, since you really put a lot of thought behind them. Keep it up
One of the better Progressive Metal Bands. As others have mentioned, 3 of 4 members are on vocals adding to the depth and dynamics of this band. Favorites are: The Czar, Crack the Skye, The Last Baron, Tread Lightly, The Motherload, Once More Round the Sun and Jaguar God.
We have lost one of the most badass guitar players in metal today, Ralph Santolla. It would be kickass if y'all would do a video in his honor. Desecration by Deicide has one of his greatest solos. He really helped bring that band to a new level.
Does anyone remember what is was like before you were born? That's what I imagine death is like. To me, it's a comfort. I don't want to see all the people I let down in heaven or hell. I want nothing. It's rest forever. I don't want to die but when it's over I want it to be over forever.
Heh. Watching your faces as the first round of the chorus came in, I was thinking, "Damn...these guys are in a bad still in a bad mood from the disaster song or something...if this particular chorus doesn't get into their heads there's something wrong here!" First time I heard it, I couldn't shake it for weeks.
Mastodon is one of the harder bands to get into ,they have their own dimension of music.But ,when you do get into it there is nothing like it.Its the king sound in its own category.
More reactions to mastodon is what i think alot of people would like to see.
there is technically 3 vocalists in Mastodon its awesome
“C’mon you’re flying, allah akbar” the dark humor 😂😂
Favorite reaction so far. Great analysis. More Mastodon!!!!! I would like you guys to try Toe to Toes, its very recent.
