But it was their tour mates and prog-metal gods Mastodon who gave a performance filled with more heavy hits and explosions than a Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoon.

When Brent Hinds sings “I’d guess they would say we could set this world ablaze” during the 13-minute epic “The Last Baron,” the lyric acts as a climax to Crack The Skye’s purposely convoluted concept involving a paraplegic kid, wormholes, and Rasputin. But the lyric also mirrors Mastodon the band as today’s heavy metal stalwarts whom can be mentioned unabashedly in the same breathe as Metallica in terms of innovation and importance.
