Album Notes & Community Reviews

Opening the sprawling, interstellar concept album 'Crack the Skye', this track features all three of the band's vocalists (Brann Dailor, Troy Sanders, and Brent Hinds) singing in rotation. Its incredibly dense, progressive metal riffing marked a cleaner, highly atmospheric evolution in Mastodon's sound.
