Today I present you with the album art of the next Mastodon album.

<< < (8/18) > >>

Koremora:
No, I thought it was pretty cool too. I mean there's ALWAYS a degree of irony with Mastodon, but still. I'm with ya wizard.

sean:
I actually hated the This Will Destroy You cover. That just seemed like it didn't fit at all and was completely out of place.

This however, feels like it fits perfectly.

Clintaga:
This is a totally boss piece of artwork, completely independent of the whatever Mastodon is/sounds like (1wheel played like 2 of their songs for me and I was totally unimpressed). I completely enjoy how it incorporates early Mezo-America Pseudo-Divinities with a clearly North American Spirit God into an otherworldly sort of Epic Image. It reminds a lot of Early TOOL album covers, which are also awesome.

Can someone explain why they dislike it without resorting to "It's a completely gaudy piece of shit eyesore."?

sean:
Oh my god you guys. According to the wikipedia page for the album, Brann Dailor (drums) said this is what the album is about.


--- Quote ---The story starts with a seed and it grows. It's a multidimensional story. It starts on planet earth, it deals with astral travel, goes to outer space, you get lost and you go on into a wormhole and you start exploring all sorts of Stephen Hawking's theories, space continuum and all that, you go into the spirit realm, you get sucked into another wormhole that brings you into Tsarist Russia and you get put inside Rasputin's body and Rasputin is assassinated and you fly off through the crack in the skye and back through outer space into the devil's dominion, passed him, back into earth and into your body. Itīs all real natural and it all kind of comes together. We like it.
--- End quote ---

I would like to know what kind of drugs these guys have been using because that is fucking crazy.

Edit: Also the song on their myspace is fucking boss.

David_Dovey:
Sean that is the quote I was looking for before I found the one I posted. I liked that one because I hear it all as one big running sentence, like the way a four year-old tells you about his day.
