I feel this song illustrates a part of the story of any number of real life people who, once lost and angry, find a cause to join after being absorbed into a clan. "And devour your humanity": another way of saying "Give your life." "Follow me and follow sound to the end of your eternity": where, "eternity" was an infinite path the character being spoken to was on before, but by following "sound", the character now has a "destiny" or destination, bringing it back to the song title. Maybe unveiling itself "above the ground" is another one of the clan's goals. Underground in a dark, silent environment. "We can be above the ground": suggests they are living underground right now. This line also downplays "life", as if it was something fungible.Ī few things here. "It's all we need": we don't need your other unique aspects your "life" for the clan is all we need. "Save your life" suggests the acting out from the beginning may have included downward spiraling / suicidal thoughts/ behavior. It needs the "lives" of its members, literally or metaphorically: organ transplant ("So I can breathe"), vs something like devoting all your energy to the clan. The clan will do these things, "mend your broken heart" and "retort the trials that you have lost" if the person joins. "The moment" could be the the event or that started the clan the clan's ideals therefore consumed their "sight". The recruiter describes how the environment for both of them is "dark and bare," with "no clarity, no light". These next few lines are how the "recruiter" describes the clan: "no illness and no pain", "Have not found any suffering". Running without vision." "Wronging all that's right" suggests that the character is acting out because he/she was suffering. In this story, the character being spoken to has suffered without a say or guidance: "Silent all you life. So to me, this song tells a story where a secretive clan recruits someone to "Give their live". This is not only a play on "clandestine" but also evokes imagery from the words "clan" and "destiny". The band got the nod for the song "Sultan's Curse" from "Emperor Of Sand", with the latter also being nominated for "Best Rock Album.My InterpretationI like the song's title, Clandestiny. MASTODON won a Grammy in the "Best Metal Performance" category at the 60th annual Grammy Awards in January at Madison Square Garden in New York City. I was invited by the fantastic band Mastodon and Warner Music to create the official music video for Clandestiny. "Cold Dark Place" was made available digitally and on CD on September 22 via Reprise Records, followed by the release of a limited-edition ten-inch vinyl picture disc on October 27.
In September, MASTODON released a new EP featuring four previously unreleased tracks. Silent all your life Running without vision Hollowed out inside Wronging all thats. We tend to draw inspiration from very real things in our lives."
It's seventeen years in the making, but it's also a direct reaction to the last two years. "To that end, the album ties into our entire discography. "We're reflecting on mortality," added bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders. Invariably, you ask, 'How much time is left?'" If you or anyone you know has ever received a terminal diagnosis, the first thought is about time. "'Emperor of sand' is like the grim reaper," said drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor. Threading together the myth of a man sentenced to death in a majestically malevolent desert, the band conjured the grains of a musical and lyrical odyssey slipping quickly through a cosmic hourglass. "Emperor Of Sand" found MASTODON returning to a deeply imaginative and complex conceptual storyline that ponders the nature of time. The follow-up to 2014's "Once More 'Round The Sun" was recorded at The Quarry Recording Studio in Kennesaw, just outside MASTODON's hometown, with producer Brendan O'Brien ( PEARL JAM, NEIL YOUNG, AC/DC, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE),who first worked with MASTODON on their seminal 2009 album "Crack The Skye".
#MASTODON CLANDESTINY SERIES#
The band revealed a short teaser video yesterday for the sci-fi promo, which has been directed by BlinkMyBrain and features a man-made intelligent being who goes out of control and creates chaos for a series of planets in a seemingly never-ending cycle. "Clandestiny" is taken from MASTODON's latest album, "Emperor Of Sand", which came out in March 2017. Mastodon have released a surreal, animated video for their track Clandestiny. The animated clip was directed by Brazilian-born motion designer Ariel Costa of BlinkMyBrain. Atlanta progressive metallers MASTODON have released a music video for their song "Clandestiny".
