  • shit i went from wiz to this shit? damm! this shit is fukin cray!!! and i just cant get enough if you know what i mean (; IM SO BLACK

  • poiuytrewq=sexy

  • love this shit dawg

  • Damn that switch at around 2:40 made me think of Cog from Australia.

  • Awesome !!

  • MY TOP MASTODON ALBUMS:

    1. Blood Mountain

    2. Remission

    3. The Hunter

    4. Crack The Skye

    5. Leviathan

  • @Byobrulez I'd go with

    1. Leviathan

    2. Remission

    3. Crack the Skye

    4. Blood mountain

    5. The Hunter

    I love the hunter of course, every mastodon album actually, some just more than others.

  • wowwwww!!!

  • Genius, pure and simple.

  • You know, in terms of who loves them and who hates them, I think Mastodon is the new Rush. Not necessarily sound wise or genre wise, but they're a real "love 'em or hate 'em" type of band. Rush did the same thing in their career, changing their sound, and I'm sure they lost some of their initial fanbase. I've been listening to them since they came out with Remission, and that album and all the ones that followed have impressed me.

    Mastodon is fucking amazing!

  • @schutze2006 I agree with you but Blood Mountain is my favorite Mastodon album. I liked Crack the Skye better than this album. They are definitely an amazing band!

  • If there had to be one song to define Mastodon, I think this would be it.

  • watch?v=EVW_GMHWNg4

    

  • yawn....so boring and overrated

    

  • @NatasNomed666 If you think that, you don't know Mastodon. This isn't the first slow, beautiful song they've done.

  • i never thought i would ever say this but... Mastodon is the band I've been looking for my whole life.

  • @SynGateGirl I agree and that's exactly what i was thinking about this morning: After years of listening to lots of bands, that's exactly what suits my ears too :]

  • Lots of hate on leviathan. Anyone who hates leviathan is pwned by metal...

  • @fuckyoselftoob i don't think people hates leviathan, leviathan is their most critical acclaimed album, and is the favorite mastodon album among fans.

  • @remiisapowerslave

    I thought Crack The Skye was their most critically acclaimed album, oh well they're both great albums.

  • @remiisapowerslave *Blood Mountain

    And, if you look it up you'll find that the Hunter is their most critically acclaimed album (83% average, metacritic). While The Hunter may not be completely metal per se, it's still very good music.

    also, imo Blood Mountain and Remission were their best albums. The Hunter is a close third.

  • @Byobrulez yeah but Leviathan has been recognized as one of the best metal albums in the last decade, I'm surprised the album was on ign's top 25 best metal albums list together with classics like screaming for vengeance,number of the beast,rust in peace,and master of puppets.

  • @remiisapowerslave Sure, 'the last decade' being a relative term, however. That article was from 2006, am i correct?

  • Welcome in the New Sleeping Giant of 2012

  • I always knew about a band called Mastodon but I never ever bothered to see who they are and what they played. When I heard they would be touring with Opeth, I thought that I should maybe take a look since I'll be seeing Opeth and I'd like to know what else I'll be seeing. God was that a nice coincidence. Best progressive metal I've listened to for quite a while...

  • these boys took it to yet another level ...........pure fucking genius !..........Mastodon has all the best elements of the best of historical prog rock :yes/rush/floyd / even a bt of sabbath with new age metal tendencies ,,but yet vintage vibes ...and now new hooks !...................if there is a god ,,he or she smiles when This album plays .........and i saw them live ,basically putting thousands under their spell ,,effortlessly.......you cant get more real ....

  • @MetalFire231 I just discovered Mastodon... I know, I know, late much?? Awesome sound, great great great lyrics and superior structure, its a ride, a bad ass fucking ride. I get high hearing music like this. You definitely can't get more real

  • Eargasm.

  • Favorite track on the new album. Brilliant.

  • that chorus is on a different level of music

  • just found out this band. love it :)

  • OPh, just got a Strargasm!

  • the first album i have ever bought my entire life was the hunter, great job mastodon very proud

  • This album to Mastodon is like The Crusades for Trivium. Crusades had the only material I liked from Trivium, then they went back to their old sound and I could give two shits less about them. I hope Mastodon stay with this sound more so than their old sound, which I find inferior to this current one.

  • very interesting new album!

  • I cant find tabs for this song anywhere. Does anyone got some or know where to find some?

  • Im not reading through comments, but people seem to be hating on this song. I guess its not metal enough for people. First thing I think of when I hear this song is how its the Sleeping Giant of the hunter, its both soft and hard, and eventually straight to the point. The simple thing to know, were better off with people hating on this album, because that what separates true fans from phonies. everyone that loves The Hunter will be embraced by bill brann troy and brent, all that matter

  • @ThePunkbebe glad someone agrees with me.

  • @ThePunkbebe probably you are right, the same thing happened with Opeth and their album "Heritage"

  • omgg u fukn haters. Like seriously is it a big deal that their music veered from a typical metal sound?? That's why yall (not all) but some can't get their heads outta their ass cuz they can't adapt. I freakn love Mastodon. I heard da old stuff before and up to now. Like I said 22hrs ago: "Stop hating it's called Evolution." When we evolved we're not perfect but we're damn near close as far as I can tell...*tch* damn ppl think they're musically inclined...

  • everyone shut the fuck up? this is a great song

  • @thcdreams654 aww stop hating it's called Evolution.

  • @Bigtyme17 agreed

  • @thcdreams654 suck a dog dick faggot

  • @thcdreams654 Well, I for one agree with you. This is evolution, but not to the better. Where are the cool and evil riffs? The breaks? The old Mastodon atmosphere?

    This is almost a pop album. The structure of the songs, and the combination of notes are totally obvious, and it's easy to foresee. They've lost the "progressive" in "progressive metal", and the "metal" in "metal". I'm saddened ):

  • @TurtleyPompato

    You are a brain dead "metal" fan. Pop album? Are you kidding? Their old sound was balls, just sayin.

  • @ReasonableRam

    >implying Leviathan sucks balls

  • @DrDesumThePanda

    I'm implying Leviathan is inferior, not sucks balls. If you feel that The Hunter sucks balls, then I would say yes, Leviathan might as well not have been made.

  • @ReasonableRam How old? Cause Crack the Skye was amazing, and Leviathan even was a pretty bad ass sounding album.

  • @ReasonableRam I'm not a brain dead "true metal fan". There's a lot of pop that I love.

    You didn't like their old sound? Okay, cool. I'm just saying why I do not enjoy their new sound as much as the old one. Music is supposed to be able to take some criticism, don't you think?

  • @TurtleyPompato This is clearly rock/metal album with progressive elements. You must another idiot "true" metal fan.

  • birader bbu sarkıda am sikmekten mi bahsediliyo şimdi ?

  • yup. it clicked. it's always so nice when it clicks right away.

  • The album cover is clearly what happens when you show animals this album...just goes to show we're animals too!

  • To the religious kid: if you had any control over me or my thought, i would probably try to kill you to become free. but i already am free, so fuck you =)

    kickass mastodon btw

  • OPETH and MASTODON headlining together yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is a great song to sit back and get really high with some headphones on......

  • its about sex in space.

  • Comment removed

  • Those who gave this video thumbs down obviously have no taste in music.

  • the intro is orgasmic... ahem... STARgasmic!

  • Anybody else loves that warmth of the toms ?

  • @burns01 Hell yeah! This drum production is awesome. I love how alive it all sounds!

  • @VJelectro

    Brann plays Starclassic Bubinga if I'm not mistaken, top of the line TAMA drums, lot of attack, warmth and volume, really love every album's drums production btw

  • @burns01 Yeah, I loved Crack The Skye's drum production also. I love how Brann's kits never sound like typical metal drumkits. No super clicky kick drums and no over-done reverb. Very true drum production.

  • @burns01 Bubinga and Birch does not make a warm sound, those are equalizers, or he had a maple kit in the studio.

  • This is my favorite album of theirs so far. Keeping their sludge like undertones while moving towards a more progressive sound. Genius.

  • Sigh... I remember when Mastodon wasn't a shitty prog rock band. They used to rock so hard and rape my sister and kill my dog. Now they're just... Tool without the balls. I suppose there's worse things they could be. Such wasted potential though.

  • @MetallicaRulez0

    Metallica rulez?!?! Grow up, man.

  • @femminiello Here on YouTube, we prefer comments that have arguments attached to them. Sadly, you are the 98%.

  • @MetallicaRulez0 ok keep listin to your tool and lady gaga shit bro.... and gtfo here if ur just gona talk shit

  • @perry244 Yes, because I listen to Tool (inarguably one of the best bands of all-time), I must like terrible music like Lady Gag(a).

    I loved Mastodon. Leviathan and Remission are AMAZING albums. Then they went too far with their prog sound and this shit is the result. If you enjoy it, good for you. I and many other metal fans don't. I'm not talking shit, I'm pointing out that most metal fans prefer their earlier albums, mostly because they're just better.

  • @MetallicaRulez0 they raped your sister and killed your dog? what the fuck dude, i'd be pissed!!!!

  • All the songs in this album stick in you head, and you can't stop singing. But of course, i'm not complaining...

  • 17 people are on fire.

  • God doesn't exist. Devil doesn't exist. Mastodon exists! Now shut up and listen to this piece of art!

  • Come here to listen to Mastodon and see that a religious war has broken out.

  • @hka4 Sorry lol i try not to but ignorant people just piss me off.. cant help myself

  • Probably my favourite song on the album if i had to pick one.

  • Comment removed

  • If this song was a boiled egg, it would be a good boiled egg

  • Oh god just listen to the music and fuck off.

  • The toms sound so good, I think Brann plays Starclassic Bubinga, nice attack and round hot sound with such a nice groove. Love it.

  • Mastodon is OK but they have a long way to go to reach a legacy like Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Scorpions, Metallica, and Ozzy.

  • Will you people shut the fuck up about religion? This is fucking Mastodon.

  • Mastodon is about life. God created life. Mastodon is not anti-religion, therefore it can be discussed if we want too.

  • @Toma4449 THANK YOU!!!!!! Can't they do it under some David Icke video ffs?!?!

  • @Toma4449 I'm a Christian and I still approve this fucking message.

  • I'm gonna cry. And I don't know whether it's out of amazement or fear.

  • Best song off the hunter!

  • It's easy to prove and debate Jesus and Christianity are the truth, the way, and the life. Atheism is a religion (belief) as well...they believe in nothing. Which I don't get, the Bible explains everything and was well witnessed and documented when written. It's not that hard to understand.

  • @neontyper Yeah well i can send you a vid showing how science works, why dont you show me a vid proving the universe is 3000 years old. I mean cmon i know you cant possibly believe that shit. Christianity is the most hypocritical thing ever.

  • @MrPrestonWeezer Where in the Bible does it say the world will end in 2012? That's Mayan calender design, not God. And where in the Bible does it say the universe is 3000 yrs. old? It does not.

    Let me put it like this. God wants true love. If your wife was a robot, you would get bored. He created the universe and when He gave us free will, it also opened the door to evil, which was necessary to have free will and proof of true love. Christianity, Jesus, and God are easy to prove.Go to church

  • @neontyper Well then its obviously not that easy to understand it cuz it says time began a couple thousand years b.c. Which means the "people" who actually wrote the bible had no knowledge of dinosaurs or anything like that. Not ot mention the old testament makes no fuckin sense. you need to read it some more. And "man" achieves what he puts "his mind" to. What you just wrote to me is so fuckin simple minded and has nothing to back it up. Read more history, it was used as a method of control.

  • @MrPrestonWeezer Where in the bible does it say time began a couple thousand years ago? Give me some proof, what scripture says that? Hmm...?

  • @MrPrestonWeezer The Bible's best description of a dinosaur-like animal is recorded in Job chapter 40. “Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks first among the works of God…” (Job 40:15-19).

  • @neontyper And emotions that humans feel and act are controlled by your brain, or "mind" do you see what im getting at bro? The only thing controlling you is you. The scariest place on earth is the human brain. and the way people like you use it scares the shit out of me.

  • @MrPrestonWeezer you can't argue with someone with information that is wrong. No where in the bible does it say time a began a couple thousand years ago. nice try though.

  • @mrpuppyman im not arguing with ignorance.

  • @MrPrestonWeezer again, it never said it in the bible. also, you never tried proving to me that you're right, even though you can't anyways. i can prove i'm right though. first verse in the bible begins with: "In the beginning..."

  • @mrpuppyman Again, im not arguing with ignorance, all you christians have the same answers for everything which should also tell you something. You christians have to be right about everything, and honestly i cant wait till social Darwinism gets the best of you lol..

  • @MrPrestonWeezer well you still didn't provide proof. typical atheist. i actually provided proof. you still didn't. you keep avoiding the question, another typical atheist thing to do.

  • @mrpuppyman Your proof is telling me to believe in it??? Religion is just something people use to stay sane. We don't even know whats on our own planet let alone whats on others. lots of religious people in nuthouses and prisons so i dun know about keeping people sane. its more like, its easy:Q. How did flowering plants develop and multiply ?

    A. God made it that way ! thanx, now i don't have to waste time and money in college learning stuff and can go right to work in fast food.

  • @mrpuppyman And no thats the typical christian thing just with verses.

  • @MrPrestonWeezer still didnt' answer the question.

  • @mrpuppyman i dont have to answer your fucking question prick. the proof is all around you. its called science your internet that your on trying to "preach" bullshit to people on. wasnt magically made by something. It was man made, just like your religion. Its made by mathematics and sciene so go back to your fucking stone temple while i live a modern healthy educated lifestyle.

  • @mrpuppyman everything i am writing to you is the answer science is the answer but i keep forgetting im arguing with a closed mnded prick. youve just been taught to think one way.. and its funny how 666 and pentagram scares the shit out of you people. recent studies also show that atheists know more about politics as well thus voting for a good president unlike you christian fuckers voting for people like bush who ruin america.

  • @MrPrestonWeezer Dr.Funkenstein :D

  • @MrPrestonWeezer ok. you are probably 11, a dick, and a lot of shit has probably happened to you to be a dick to me. no where in my comments did i say anything asshole-like. you response didn't make any sense whatsoever. i asked where in the bible did it say that, and you say the proof is all around me? i thought we were talking about the bible. and then you go off to blame every single thing on christians. and by the way you're talking, you sound like a useless fuck. good day.

  • @mrpuppyman you need to watch this from 0:40 to 1:50 this is exactly what you are doing. "the amazing atheist proving atheism is true. And im very useful ;) and i am an asshole because i have that right. And a lot has happened to me. and even if i was 11 id be a lot more educated than you. ;)

  • @mrpuppyman You didn't provide proof, there are rocks discovered showing that the earth is billions of years, look at the atlantic sea floor, it provides proof because thhe sea floor there is younger than the earths crust, fucking knock off your christian creationist shit and go fuck a bible.

  • @axedstoninst dude you didn't read what i said at all. i said the bible never said it was 3000 years old. you need to read more. dumbass.

  • @neontyper Plus do you know how many fuckin religions there are? What makes Christianity the right one? I mean shit if the world doesnt end in 2012 then i bet many many years from now that christianity is gonna be a thing of the past like every other religion.

  • Can SOMEBODY tell me why there is ANY religious bickering under ANY music video?!?! For fuck's sake people...does being a christian, muslim, jew, hindu, buddhist, agnostic, or atheist have ONE fucking thing to do with this kickass band from GA?!?!?!NO!!!!!!!!!!! STFU already and appreciate the gift of talented musicians sharing their creation with us all!!!! To all who recognize how good these guys are, PEACE!!! MASTODON ROOOOOOOOOOOOOCKS!!!!!!!!

  • @WaveboyNC Metallica Ride the Lightning, And Justice for All, and Black are better than Mastodon.

  • @neontyper That's debatable. Those are good efforts, all 3. However, I saw Metallica, during the And Justice tour, worst show I've EVER seen...ever, as in seeing upwards of 150 bands for nearly 3 decades now, they sucked. Mastodon is every bit as musically skilled as Metallica ever was, on some of their work even more so. I notice that your examples, while classics(I'll give you that), are relics at this point. Metallica of the last 15 yrs though...Mastodon is the Crusher Destroyer!!!

  • Best damn drumming ever

  • just got into mastadon when oblivion came out... and btw dont hate me for it i went to see between the buried and me and mastadon was headlining the concert and i fell in love instantly they fuckin rock and im verry picky with music i was under the btbam umbrella for quite a while

  • @indicaza1 Dude, BTBAM is awesome, too.  No hate from me, that's for sure!

  • @indicaza1 better later than never right?!? ;> \m/

  • Apparently, I'm on fire, but I like that firey sensation of stargasm.

  • my brother has the signed cd and poster from the concert

  • @perry244 buy him a cookie

  • Beautiful guitar playing at 2:11...

  • i just realized all of the songs from this album i've heard so far are under 6 min

  • By far my favorite song on the album. And that's saying something because I love every song on 'The Hunter'

  • If people can't hear Mastodon on this album, then they need to get their ears checked. I've seen many comments from people about how they hate this album but love Blood Mountain, which is pretty damn stupid if you ask me because this album reminds me a lot of BM. There aren't many bands that can go in a new direction on every album and still sound like the same band in some odd way.

  • you're on fire!!!!

  • i don't like this music,... it just rolls on steady like a old lady driving.. no tension between the notes

  • I'm so high right now

  • @BrandonHirschberger DUUUDE! Me too! No way!

  • This and Dry Bone Valley - Best songs on the album :D

  • Anyone else waiting for a live version of this ? It's their best song ever!

  • Ugh omg this song is so great. Gives me chills every single time.

  • I am always on fire. It beats being watered down!

  • the drummers vocals are really fucking hypnotic

  • This is possibly the best metal song of 2011

  • WTF happened, Mastodon? Blood Mountain was AWESOME. Blood Mountain made me want to wreck sh*t. This album makes me feel like curling up with a blanket and a good book.

  • @thehatmill so in other words... Mastodon is good in bed?

  • @dauntSilver maybe if your beds in the stars

  • @thehatmill You feel like curling up with a blanket and reading a good book cause you grew up. Like Mastodon did.

    Sometimes you don't wanna run around in circles thrashing at shit. Sometimes you wanna get out. Like sometimes, Mastodon wants to warp their style up a bit.

    Grow up, bitches. Can you keep up with Mastodon?

  • @thehatmill

    Which good book, then??

  • not to mention some of the BEST ones in my opinion..

  • you know what i just realized? every song off this album on youtube that has the most views, mastodon didnt even play live when i saw them, including this one. fucked up shit

  • @bangerhead5 makes sense. just cause this is new its like ppl dont even know any other of their albulms. you gotta pay attention to the progress of the band ppl just dont respect these days

  • IIuminatti;

  • Added to playlist Stoner Metal

  • stargasm=orgasm

  • 15 people suck ass!

  • seems like these boys were trying to stay away from modal metal music and embracing more melodic, diatonic progressions.

  • @grizzlytomahawk duh...

  • @JoobyFoo fanboy

  • @grizzlytomahawk my comment was complete sarcasm relating to the fact that most* people who will read it haven't a clue what your terms mean...

  • wwwgreatbuyoutletscom wwwtopfuelsavercom "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return into the earth; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord for ever and ever."What a book the Bible is, what a miracle, what strength is given with it to man! It is like a mould cast of the world and man and human nature, everything is there, and a law for everything for all the ages. And what mysteries are solved and revealed! God raises Job again

  • @czech698 Amen. I'm a Christian too. I also love Mastodon. Not everyone who likes music like this is unsaved. Its good that people are spreading the gospel on YouTube though. People need to be more open minded in order to receive it, but this is a start. I like to think the people listening to bands like Mastodon are the open-minded type who don't discredit Christ.

  • @phillip69543 Not believing in God doesn't make you close-minded.

  • @FunnyArcade God I fucking hate close minded christians. They want to spread their bullshit but god forbid you have any opinions not concerning jesus you're a "Satanist"

  • @MetalHead61689 PISS OF YOU WHORE!

  • @MetalHead61689 Uh, because anything not of Christ can only be of Satan. There are only 2, duh.

  • @FunnyArcade I like where your comment started out with valid points but at the end deteriorated into just more blatant insults.

  • @FunnyArcade Dude like all of Mastodon's lyrics are pretty religious in their own way. I think this album has sweet ideas, and why hate? Mastodon gives us the gift of making our own religions

  • @phillip69543 i try to be as reliously tolerant as posible but saying we need to be more open minded so we can recive christ is fucking rediculus shut the fuck up

  • this song gave me a sadface.....

  • Only good song on the album.

  • @RightHookJoker your mom
