About this product

Vinyl LP pressing. 2009 from the Atlanta-based Heavy Metal outfit. Mastodon has taken hold of the leadership of the New Wave of Progressive Heavy Metal. The band's 2006 major-tag debut Blood Mountain spun off a Grammy nomination and earned Top 5 Best Album of the Year nods from Kerrang!, Revolver and Metal Hammer, and a Top 10 Rolling Stone. Now Crack the Skye, it's fourth original studio album, mines subject matter from czarist Russia and astral travel to out-of-body experiences and Stephen Hawking's theories on wormholes for an unrepentantly heavy aural assault that will shake the heavens.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Progressive by all standards!
Mastodon wowed me with this album. It gets away from their traditional, heavier sounds and moves to a pretty progressive place. Do not get me wrong, there are tons of heavy vocals and riffs but more melodic parts than I have seen in their other albums.

The Last Baron
[Employee of bestbuy] Record sounds great. Already own a copy, but the last one got scratched. Funny that the sticker refers to this as their new album (this is four albums ago).

"Quintessential" Mastodon album
Easily my favorite Mastodon record, and one of my favorite metal albums in general. The sound is perfect from the vinyl and the packaging is beautiful.

MASTODON / MARROW DEEP [2 LP] Equal parts crushing & cathartic, Marrow Deep finds GRAMMY winners Mastodon pushing their sound into new depths without sacrificing what makes them one of heavy music's most forward-thinking forces.
