Hard to get around the impression that the boys in Mastodon have been geeking out Jack, Kate, and Sawyer style recently ’cause this clip — set on a vaguely tropical island replete with roaming, black clouds of smoke and familiar camera tricks and angles — plays like one of Locke’s tripping-paste-induced vision quests. The vid closes out on an illustrated circle of life, with an Om morphing into a tree, then a Blood Mountain (get it?), and finally a predatory animal scene. And oh yeah, it’s an ill song from the band that has us psyched about metal again.
While we’re sorta on the subject — fuck Benry Gale and his exploding bunny hearts, and Desmond is the messiah (as indicated by his benevolent smile).

hah. wow.
that could almost catch some one up on the first two seasons of lost. all in four minutes.
i hate trying to explain the show to people. i dread the “what’s that show all about anyway?” question.
Lost is the fastest one to explain. There’s been about 4 minutes of plot throughout the whole of the first two seasons. The rest is all flashbacks and people running in the woods…
this album pales so hard to the Bronx’s original self-titled effort.
Mastodon rules!
Those drums are IN_SANE!
Where’s Josh Homme?
a bit like Lost, that song teases but never really kicks in.
I concur with charbarred. Remember, the Lost guys need to make 100 episodes before big bucks syndication kicks in, so that’s at least another 3 series of folk running round the woods and scratching their heads over a “hatch”.
Whatever the denoumont (spelling?) , it can’t ever match this build up.
Fuff it, i still DL every episode, one day they’ll get through the maze and rescue the baby from the castle of the goblin king.
i love lost — and this vid is definite homage.
mastodon is sick
“Where’s Josh Homme?”
My sentiments exactly. Sounds like a bad QOTSA outtake he wrote when he was drunk.
i actually did the animation at the end of this video, and i keep hearing the “Lost” comparison but i’ve never even seen one episode of that show. i just tried to follow the theme of the album.
