    Mastodon present a prog-metal concept that would make Stephen Hawking bang his head.

    If this all sounds a bit heavy going, Crack the Skye offers plenty of simple pleasures as Mastodon heap on the musical melodrama, with a more-is-more approach to fretwork that's bound to see them liven up moshpits when they support Metallica this summer.

    There will be naysayers among the band's extreme, tatted legions. But Crack the Skye is an awesome display.
