Mastodon 'Crack The Skye' LP Black Vinyl

'Crack the Skye' is the fourth full-length studio album by American heavy metal band Mastodon, released in March 2009.

Vocalist/bassist Troy Sanders said in an interview with Stereogum, "Crack the Skye is a departure from everything we've previously recorded in the sense that we kinda strapped on our aeroshells and departed from Earth for a while, and then captained to the ethereal element of the universe and kind of slept on the roof of the world for a while to get a perspective on this record.  . . . Basically we're exploring the ethereal world. We're dissecting the dark matter that dominates the universe, in a nutshell. "
