Mastodon—Troy Sanders, Brann Dailor, Brent Hinds, and Bill Kelliher—initially unveiled Crack the Skye on March 24, 2009, and its influence has only expanded over the last 15 years. It marked the band’s first Top 15 debut on the Billboard 200 and concluded 2009 on a myriad of Year-End lists. Metal Hammer and Rock Sound both hailed it as “Album of the Year,” and Time placed the record in its Top 3. Christened “superb” by Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times went on to attest, “Mastodon has earned its place at the forefront of progressive metal with a mix of headiness and brawn…but the ambitious vision and vivid executive of ‘Crack the Skye’ don’t feel like a departure for the band.”

A high watermark of sonic unpredictability, Crack the Skye fascinates with its mind-blowing soundscapes, visionary storytelling, and elite riffing. The group stretched their sound to staggering heights by introducing the three-headed cosmic vocal interplay of Sanders, Dailor, and Hinds. Processing real-life tragedy, this living and breathing opus alternates between vignettes of astral projection, interdimensional conspiracy, and a glorious transformational apotheosis. The LP elevated Mastodon to another stratosphere altogether and left an indelible imprint on rock music in 21st-century rock in its wake.
