Mastodon - "Oblivion"
The second single from their superb 2009 release Crack the Skye has the Atlanta metal trendsetters in a different setting. No longer are they chasing mystical creatures or locating forbidden weapons of destruction but rather they are aboard a spaceship. This song has all the makings of a single: decipherable lyrics (new as Mastodon has begun to stray from the all scream style of their earlier tracks), catchy chorus, great riffs, and a lovely bridge. The video itself is a little odd. What exactly is causing them to go crazy in space? What is happening there on Earth? Ivy? But who really cares though. It's cool and the songs absolutely rocks.
