Mastodon - March of the Fire Ants

Song from Mastodon's 'Remission'. Enjoy!

as passion encircles the daily storm
the heart bleeds and droughts do not

bone grave
bone engraved
stone grave
stone engraved

all circles created with intention
an ocean turns yellow
it soothes the eye

This band used to be so heavy it was insane... live, they made no sense... it was a wall of noise.

I say them in London opening for Tool about 5/6 years ago and then Metallica about 4 years ago... nobody but me in the crowds knew them then and people literally walked out to go get drinks etc. It was just noise coming from the stage that was too much for even metal heads to take.

Now I've see them on frickin Jools Holland's Jazz show.. WTF.

Still Crack the Skye is a masterpiece.

@jjcale1111 Jazz show? Jools Holland is a music show and the best around at the moment

@jjcale1111 Opening for Metallica is never a good an opportunity in terms of quality. I saw Volbeat opening for them and even though I like the band I thought the sound sucked ! Of course it's made on purpose...Plus Metallica fans are... x)

[TheLastBaron16]

@maggotfrom1993 Metallica are one of the biggest bands in history. Of course opening for them is a good opportunity!

remission is actually the only mastodon album i really like. leviathan is very good but everything after doesn't do it for me. but because of this album, Mastodon is amazing

[TheLastBaron16]

@SoundECH0 I'm glad you put it like that. I'm getting so annoyed with people saying Mastodon sold out. But yes, probably one of the greatest debut albums of all time

people who complain about the hunter should listen to it live.

I agree the production is a bit pants, but live it is fucking amazing!

@jjcale1111 - They are better than Metallica and Tool.

[BlackLightDistrikt]

Goddamn this song is bad ass...What a great record. I especially love the instrumental portion starting at the 2:27 mark

[metalmilitia06]

one of the best songs i've ever heard.

[Tviruskillu]

@RattleheadMoney95 I imagine there is one. Just probably not as often you see one as you do here in the U.S.

[RattleheadMoney95]

@Tviruskillu I live in the UK so I have no idea if we even have Best Buy's over here- I've never seen one anyway :/

[Tviruskillu]

@RattleheadMoney95 I saw it at a best buy. I should of got it x(

@seanmitchell88 With peers such as Avenged Sevenfold, Trvium and every metal and deathcore band- it wasn't exactly hard for them. This comment isn't meant to take anything away from the genius of that album (genius doesn't even cover it) but the Metal scene is in such shit right now. As you said, Mastodon are one of the few bands taking the genre to new and exciting places and seriously deserve more recognition for it.
