MUSIC IN MOTION III

Interested in some deep space jam music, orchestrated through the crunch of heavy metal thudding? The band Mastodon has mastered this sound along with lyrics that bestow cosmic significance and anomalies. This video from their most recent album; Crack The Skye is complete with rock band flailing in space/time motion, prehistoric tribal sacrifice and earthly monstrosity. The song is called Divinations and its video is highly entertaining, but mostly I am using it to introduce their music to you. Mastodon’s best songs are too long for video and are original composed pieces that are conducted by musicians that have mastered their craft. The intensity that they exude can be considered mind-blowing. They are heavy and dark but not depressing and gloomy, or even satanic. They merely suggest that there is a vast and complicated multi-verse built of age and wonder that tugs at the human soul and imagination. They easily express these notions with their great writing talent.

Divinations is very entertaining with its comic book expression and portrayal of rock guitar power. As with all the “Music In Motion” posts; smoke it if you got it (or can) and watch it in ‘full screen’ splendor. Click the link and enjoy:
