LABEL: WARNER
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 03/24/2009
VARIANT: Black Vinyl LP

Mastodons mind-bending 2009 full-length finds the Atlanta, Georgia foursome at their proggiest, with the conceptually-driven Crack the Skye playing out through interconnected suites, quixotic time-shifts and cosmos-soaring guitar passages. Its heady storylines cross astral planes, include a body-swap with Rasputin, and reference the tragic passing of drummer Brann Dailors sister. The vast and varied voyage is presented here on black vinyl, and comes packaged with an exclusive art print from longtime visual collaborator Paul Romano, as well as Revolvers in-depth collectors magazine on the history of Mastodon.

Revolver celebrates 25 years of Mastodon with a special collectors issue! In new, exclusive interviews, Brann Dailor, Bill Kelliher and Troy Sanders tells the story of Mastodon (so far) in their own words from Atlantas underground to the forefront of heavy music, through triumph and tragedy.

This 100-page deluxe magazine is thicker than a standard issue of Revolver, without any ads, features embossed type and UV coating on its cover, as well as rare, career-spanning all-access photography throughout, and commentary by members of TOOL, Slayer, Judas Priest, Gojira and more. (Cover illustration, titled Memento Vivre (XXV), by Paul Romano.)

This LP vinyl variant of Crack the Skye is on black wax and includes a signed, numbered 12×12 screen print insert by visual artist and longtime Mastodon collaborator Paul Romanos exclusive reimagined artwork.
