Mastodon have released the third part of their documentary series exploring the creative process behind their 2009 album Crack The Skye.
They revealed the first part in March, with part two arriving earlier this month.
The new episode focuses on the emotional themes behind the album, which was dedicated to drummer Brann Dailor’s sister Skye, who died when she was 14 years old.
Dailor says: “The deeper you can go emotionally when you’re writing and playing music the better, because that’s what it needs to be – it doesn’t need to be superficial.
“The transfer of emotion into music, if it’s deep enough, can definitely touch somebody else.”
Watch the full eight minute video below.
Mastodon will head out on the road with Coheed And Cambria on The Unheavenly Skye Tour from May, where Dailor, Bill Kelliher, Brent Hinds and Troy Sanders will play the album in its entirety.
To mark Crack The Skye’s 10th anniversary, the band have also launched a new range of merchandise – including a picture disc of the record, t-shirt, jacket, poster and more.
