Haa, well Mastodon really went for it with the first Crack The Skye clip. In a Progress Report they told Jessica the album would be a “combination of ‘brutal,’ ‘fucking’ and ‘epic,’” and that the record would be “dissecting the dark matter that dominates the universe, in a nutshell.” The Roboshobo-directed “Divinations” video hits all the beats: the band goes mountain climbing to unlock the awesome shredding power of a creature named Brent, who is frozen, and thawed only by the lightning bolts coming from Bill Kelliher’s flying V, at which point Brent-monster plays a sick solo and kills ‘em all. Oh and there’s a yeti, an evil overlord, and a hot sacrificial virgin involved too, just to get the brutal-fucking-epic all in place.

Mastodon owns – cant wait ’till they hit Vancouver
That’s not a bigfoot, that’s a yeti.
My friend Jerry would be ashamed. Fixed.
Amazing video for an amazing band. These guys keep topping themselves. Yeti vs. Cougar art going on my laptop:: http://tinyurl.com/7r7d75
that’s not a cougar, it’s a smilodon.
Well, that ruled. Mastodon is everything that is good about metal.
Great song, really cool video. I have high hopes for this album.
scratch what i said about the depeche mode clip: THIS is how you make a music video
Damn dude …im gonna see em this summer probably perfomin this song ….booyaa
Wow, what a strange, avant-garde video. Just a box that says “Error loading module. Error #2048″ and no music…. Thanks MTV! Once again making the world a better place for PeeCee users.
I have a hard time liking this band just given how very much I dislike their arrogant, loser guitarist and his punching of King Khan in the face. Such a douchebag that guy.
