Originally released in two thousand nine, Mastodon's Crack The Skye is widely considered the band’s most ambitious and critically acclaimed work. Blending progressive metal, psychedelic rock, and sludgy heaviness, the album tells a surreal concept story involving astral projection, Rasputin, and spiritual journeys through space and time.

Tracks like “Oblivion,” “Divinations,” and the epic “The Last Baron” showcase the band’s evolution toward complex songwriting, soaring melodies, and intricate arrangements. The monumental suite “The Czar” stands as one of the band’s most celebrated compositions, weaving multiple movements into a sweeping progressive metal journey.

This fifteen-year anniversary edition presents the album newly remastered and pressed on sky blue vinyl. The set also includes a second LP featuring the full orchestral score version of the album, offering a cinematic perspective on one of modern metal’s most influential records.
