Vee Hua 華婷婷Godammit! Yet another kick-ass video from the ever-so-artistically-minded Mastodon. The original cover, which features the 3-dimensional wood-sculptured artwork of Portland-based artist AJ Fosik, is chopped up, mirrored many times over, and shot into outerspace. Expect our interview with AJ Fosik soon!
As for the track itself, Scott Kelly of Neurosis offers vocals once again. Says Kelly: “Mastodon approaches their sound honestly and from a mind at unity. I am honored to continue to be a part of their creative process, and to once again have the chance to join them on this expression that is undoubtedly their most adventurous work to date.”
Oh, right, and if you’re curious… some cosmic and far-out lyrics, below.
“SPECTRELIGHT” LYRICS
We trip the light
Firebird flies
Burn your inside
Given a lesson
The path I’ve shown
Follow all I know
Into the Spectralight
Into the afterlife
It came from the ocean
Gift from the sea
Lava forms the stone
Belief in power
Believe the truth
Trust your own truth
Into the Spectralight
Into the afterlife
You listen through the light
Tolling on the sea
Barren eyes behind you
Leave the shadows waking dreams
Rising through the door
Writing with a knife
Cut speech
Cut light
Cut chord and break the dawning wretch of silence
Trust your own truth
Souls of the fallen
Death of the Godhead
Listen and breathe
Into the Spectralight
Into the afterlife
