Crack the Skye--Mastodon
What do a Russian mystic, astral travel, and a teenage tragedy have in common? Mastodon’s Crack the Skye. Behind the energy-enfused face of Rasputin on the cover is a story of grief, transcendence, and cosmic odyssey — a record that cracked open the sky itself. Artist Paul Romano turned the band’s most personal album into a surreal relic, equal parts Orthodox icon and psychedelic vision. Grab a copy and listen along with us.
