Mastodon - Crystal Skull Lyrics

Melvins

0:00 Metallica's St Anger session but they collaborate with Brann Dailor.

Resistance is futile motherfucker.

Sepultura vibes in that intro

"una mirada no dice nada y al mismo tiempo lo dice todo"

Min 1:34 🙀

FUSIONFALL!!!

Wtf is that and why are you retards trolling Mastodon videos??

The time is now, the hero is YOU.

People say their death metal, their not they suck

Who tf listens to this wack shit

Thanks Adult Swim for the sample on air.

Favorite song in the world.

Perfect viking sound track guys ...

that guitar solo makes my dick moist

That's just wonderful.

The drum intro sounds like an Apple phone advertisement that I saw once

1:45 makes my dick hard

ESTA BIEN PERRONA ESTA ROLA JAJA

OohhhSatan's bearded cock! It's blood mountain. Yay.

This song is beyond intense. Classic album.

SOPENCOS

Is it just me or is this like Black Sabbath and Dream Theater had a baby?

+someone to do the hard vocals

@1:46 my skin is so tight with goosebumps from that shift. Holy shit. First time hearing this song

I feel ya, that's my favorite part of the song, that key change is epic

Those drums are INSANE!

Those drums are INSANE!

2:01 neurosis ?

I’m sure that’s why they decided have Scott Kelly sing right there lol. Troy talked about how they accidentally write songs that will have parts that sound like Neurosis just because all the guys are huge fanboys.

King Sombra brought me here...

A banda Mastodon é uma banda de Deus.

Claro que sim. Pablo Vittar, Anita e Cláudia Leitte que são do Diabo.

Goddammit this shit is fucking filthy! \m/

wasn't a favorite of mine originally, but now it won't stop getting in my head!

FUSIONFALL

Just picked up our ticket for the October 25th show in Vancouver, so pumped!

this song is not, as popularly thought, about meth.

Guide a truth
Prevail and ride
Into the black hole
Searching the crystal
Making the veins bleed
The source of consciousness
Alive
Crystalline resonance
Into the black hole
Searching the crystal
Making the veins bleed
A deep breath before the plunge
One million voices
Dispelling
A thousand faces
Disarming
Running through the darkness
Holding hearts in my eyes
Falling short of gauntlet
Covered in blood-sucking flies
The touch is cold
I tore a path screaming through wind and blood
I will it all
Burning deep in my skull

first time I ever tripped, I listened to this. my mate fed me 2 trips, they kick in we're just sitting there chilling. then he pulls out some peyote. and "Have a big one" he says packs a full cone of it. I go on an adventure through his house look in the mirror for a bit come out and he's pulling this container out of the freezer. he eats a big gob of this black tar goopy shit and says "get that into ya" I do. it's Mescal... hahahahah man i'm just sitting there agreeing with this lyrics. We went out with his mate and went into another dimension came out of it then i had a bad trip for half an hour ditched my friends then their was this turning point suddenly I'm dancing with that maniac smile with some people at a street busker...went into a gay bar with this chick who was a good friend and had a blast for like 12 hours.

I hear influences in Brent's Divinations solo from his solo in this song...Interesting if finding the crystal skull gives you divinations...

love this song

This album is 11 years old now, goddamn

too bad the mastodon who wrote this song is gone. this is untouchable

sean mitchell not really

@Noordin M Top
 None of their stuff since crack the skye is as technical and heavy. They have said it themselves they have moved in a different direction. All you have to do is listen, they evolve every album

Can't fault a band for trying to do something different. But they really nailed the sound on this album. Shit is primordial.

This really would've made the Indiana Jones movie better… or good for that matter.

this song is about doing crystal meth, not about the movie

I tore a path screaming through wind and blood

I will it all

Burning deep in myyyyy SKUUUUOOOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! Solo !!!


WOW , its so Cool !!!

Can't go wrong with Scott Kelly on vocals.

Does anyone know who does the vocals during the breakdown, "the torch is cold..." part? It sounds like Brent but Troy always does it live.

Simon Rackenberg-Loisel it's Scott Kelly from NEUROSIS

I don't mind that Mastodon ripped off the starting theme to Time Team with the intro, 'tis a good song.

YES A MASTODON GUITAR SOLO.

Thank u fusionfall

Cold Flame what?

Cold Flame thank you so much. I’ve listened to mastodon for a little while now and somehow I always felt like this song sounded familiar. I played fusionfall all the time as a kid and watching the trailer for it with this song just blew my fucking mind.

Frl, the memories bro!

I love this part 1:07

After the percussion intro, that riff....is that perhaps a nod to Morbid Angel's "Rapture?"

Actually, it's Brann Dailors nod to King Kong. Fo' real.

I wasn't aware of that. It does sound very jungle. Don't you think the guitar riff afterwards sounds reminiscent of that Morbid Angel song?

Scott muthafuckin Kelly, song is epic, especially guitar solo

Brann is the best player in the band by far in my opinion

+Onerandomgamer 1 agreed

+Christopher Steinat +Onerandomgamer 1 I like them all really, branns drumming is awesome, but I listen to mastodon for the tasty riffs most of the time

Blood Mountain lml

Brent prolly gave birth to a demon after this solo

♪ Burning deep, in high school ♪
Best teenage stoner anthem ever!

so there is this girl i work with, and she has a huge crush on me me, but i'f she knew i use to hang out with drug dealers and i use to be their mucel she would never want to talk to me.

I enjoyed that story.

Harvey Pickleston Right?

Matt Smith is she into any drugs

Matt Smith Da fuq?

every one hates me, but i won't kill my self until i kill chuck digmam in cold blood. call the cops on me. I dare you. I wont kill myself until I kill you. And I can't wait to meet you in Hell.

+Matt Smith k

Crystal Meth

Saw it live in 2007 and my ears are still ringing!

Frank Burnham just saw this live a few days ago its amazing

Who searches for crystals in a black hole?

+RavionUltimate I think its black hole, as in a dark cavern. Not a black hole out in space. Just a guess

Used to listen to this album high outta my mind playing Oblivion......that my friends was the first time I visited Heaven.

FusionFall!~

Oh my god, is that where Cartoon Network got that song from the intro video?

Their fucking riffs man! As a guitar player this make me really happy!

what this album cover mean ?

The intro sounds like a tribe is performing a ritual to summon a demon and the ground bursts open and the demon is Mastodon.

+Hannibal Hyde stop play final fantasy papu

+Hannibal Hyde noice.

What a music video that'd make! XD

well speak

It's a tribute to King Kong lol. Literally

I don't listen to any metal but I really like this song and feel like I could get into the genre.  Anybody have recommendations?  Either good Mastodon albums worth listening to or other artists/albums/songs

Also, if you like mastodon you should check out Gojira.

If you like Mastodon I would recommend checking out Pagan's Mind. They are a very good Progressive Metal bands that has their heavier moments, but they are also very melodic.

+Deion Sandals Check out the Blue Record by Baroness. Don't bother with their other stuff, if you ask me, but you'll enjoy the HELL out of that one.

+skraddypoo Really enjoyed this album, thanks for the recommendation

@Deion Sandals
You're welcome! :D

So, did Brendan Small name a Dethklok song "Blood Ocean" because of Mastodon's "Blood Mountain"?
Most likely not but it just sounds like it would be a hilarious coincidence.

Yes, there is a song called Blood Ocean

Favorite Mastodon song, favorite mastodon album

Apparently Sombra's voice from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, was based on the vocals in this song.

@Big Bad Wolf I used to live in Brazil, so I was well aware of that. That fact has nothing to do with the conversation.

@ganondorfchampin I know, I just wanted to put that out there

@ganondorfchampin As enormous fan of both Mastodon and pony, this is awesome.

+Big Bad Wolf spanish too

_"KRIIIISSSSTAAAALSSSS!!!!"_
-King Sombra

took some acid and listened to this album for the first time, it really started to kick in when the guitar solo was starting and I remember giggling like school girl. Rest of the album was fucking amazing so many moments where my mind just exploding.

Now that sounds like a good time!

Dude I tripped with blood mountain too
It was amazing

dude this album is a roller coaster on lucy

Hell yea guys, I used to listen to Sepultura "ROOTS" while on LSD, brought me to the PRIMAL PLACE WE ALL KNOW, all was one and I was eyes and ears of our primal mother Nature, but also something more, I felt an awareness, but it was an awesome primal force. Fear factory also helped my entry into that "oneness" but I wont deny, 311's album "MUSIC" gave me the best most b;blissful experiences of my life. 311's Music is a work of art.

Legendary

Skull intact...Brain exploded.

rock and ride!!! enjoy!

Anyone else here from FusionFall?

I know a year late but same 😂

me its 3 year later

from what...

Savage riffage

Well shit, so this is what King Sombra does in his spare time...

SacredYinZekrom
XD

This song sounds like modern version of Satyricon - Forhekset and it kick ass!

Why wasnt his in indiana jones?????? Wtf

This would have that movie so much better

This song is off the fucking hook.

This song gets me insanely pumped.
That moment when he says "BURNIN' DEEP IN MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"

Fucking amazing.

@Fu q That would be Scott Kelly from Neurosis. Highly recommend checking them out. 

Fusion Fall FTW

So fun on drums

in fusionfall lol

Wow, really? lol.

Wtf is fusion fall??

Sounds like a heavier Black Sabbath or Ozzy Osborne song. I like it

I've been listening to this band for years and I barely realized at 3:18 you hear one of the guys clear their throat. o_0

holy shit what a song!

Its the surprise of finding a small section of the internet with (currently) no stupid people... Quite surprising indeed....

Dat solo

1:07-1:33 of this song has been my ringtone for about 5 years now, and I'm not even thinking about changing it any time soon, it never gets old to me. All hail fucking Mastodon.

the riff reminds me of inspector gadget

Truly amazing song. Saw these guys at Mayhem in Auburn, they put on quite a show

Blod maunten.

mastadon, man, who can be here listening to this and be angry

I'm behind you

Do you ship?

This is the song that could bring chuck Norris to tears

I love this song so much
