Mastodon - Crack the Skye
If anyone like progressive/epic/metal you should check it out. IMO one of the best albums to come out in years. Previous fans of Mastodon will be surprised about the new direction taken on this cd. Truly a masterpiece. The album currently got a 5 star rating on Amazon...you are really screwing yourself if you don't atleast give a spin. Discuss... http://www.amazon.com/Crack-Skye-Mas...0598691&sr=8-3 |

Much respect to Mastodon for their musicianship and what they given to metal, but I just can't get into them. They're to intelligent for me and I'm not into Epic. Blast and grunt.

If you like blast and grunt you would love the new Gojira - The way of all flesh. One of the most Hardcore CD's I have heard. The way of all flesh is one of my favorites.

I'm familiar with Gorjira, thanks. Too much melody and emotion for me though. Think labels Willowtip, Unique Leader, Razorback, etc. A little more blast, a little more grunt.

One of my favorite bands of the later 70's/early 80's was Crack the Sky. I wonder if there is a connection?

Only bands I know from Willowtip are Ion Dissonance and As Eden Burns... any other that you'd recommend?

I'd listen to them all first though. As Eden Burns is more melodic than anything I've listed and Ion Dissonance is more core than anything listed above. |

Late to the party on this one. Picked up a few albums this week, and this is one of them. I absolutely LOVE Oblivion and The Czar.
