If you've heard Mastodon's new song "Divinations," you've gotten a taste of the progressive songwriting and psychedelic otherworldliness of the band's upcoming album Crack the Skye, which comes out March 24. But just wait 'til you hear the ominous, trudging "Oblivion" or the miasmic, intoxicating 13-minute epic "The Last Baron." Yup, there's no question in our minds that when the time comes to pick the best albums of 2009, Crack the Skye will be perched right up there near the top if not at the top. We'll be bringing you much more from Mastodon in the coming weeks, but for now we present "The Making of Crack the Skye: the Beginning of Crack the Skye: Episode I."
