VARIANT: Deluxe, 15th Anniversary LP Box Set

Mastodon set out to shape their fourth full-length as their classic rock moment, and sure enough, the quartet pulled themselves out of their sludgiest tendencies to soar into a proggy cosmos of tandem guitar solos, spaced-out melodies and epically towering songcraft. And while one out-there narrative finds a paraplegic man worm-holing his way through space and time to inhabit Rasputins body, its title track is likewise an emotionally-grounding moment that pays tribute to drummer Brann Dailors late sister. The 15th anniversary box set delivers the transcendent classic on double-sized smoky grey vinyl, and adds a live Blu-Ray, posters and more.

Disc 1 is the original album remastered while Disc 2, Crack the Skye:The Score, features instrumental versions of each track.

The Blu-Ray disc includes Crack the Skye: 10th Anniversary Animations, Crack the Skye: The Movie & The Making of Crack the Skye.

The box also includes a 24 x 24 Poster, 10×10 sheet with four individual custom-designed magnets and a 12 page, 12×12 booklet.

Originally released in March 2009, the album features “Oblivion”, “Divinations” “The Last Baron” and more.
