You can feel the anguish underpinning the entire song, but I'm not going to lie, when the solo kicked in, I shed a couple tears. Whatever they went through must have been rough, but I'm glad they have such a love of music that they're still here today, despite everything that's happened to them. Another gorgeous piece by Mastodon, and another much satisfied listener, just saying thank you.
Best Brent Hinds' guitar solo ever. Fucking hell, the intensity of this solo can be compared to a whole fucking mountain crying after a fire took away the forest that has been on it for ages. Yeah that's a very specific comparison.
When this song first came out, I had just left an abusive relationship with a woman that sounds identical to her. She even tried to take the dog. This song helped me face my own emotions in a very needed way, and I can't thank you guys enough for this. Even writing this 2 years later, I still get a bit emotional when I watch it because everything about this song described how I felt at the time. I'm much better now if anyone is wondering, partially thanks to Mastodon. Love yinz! ❤️
I once had tinitus.. from playing too loud in my room.. but especially my body that said stop and rest. Switched off cellphone 2 months. Couldn't even hear the sound of dishwashing.. Then new Mastodon album came out. The Hunter blew me away. Every day I put the volume knob a little higher.. and they pulled me through it.. I kid you not. Real story. Suffered from tinitus real bad and I don't say it is just "between the ears".. but really wanted to listen to Mastodon and make the effort + they pulled me through in an emotional way I guess..
@@RastaMonk420 It was going to be a part of "Emperor Of Sand" - Brent was talking about a 'double album', and You can see titles of the songs off "Cold Dark Place" on a blackboard in "Making of Emperor Of Sand" documentary.
This EP is a definitive proof that Brent Hinds is up there with the truly great prog composers like Robert Fripp, Greg Lake, Mike Rutherford and Roger Waters
Lost my mum suddenly on the 7th of this month. Feel like this was written for me, and I mean that in the least selfish way it can be interpreted. Thank you for this fleeting catharsis. Slowly turning the tap of grief and this helps relieve the pressure.
I lost mine on the first of October. This song remembers me of that scene in the hospital, the exact moment when we were told she had died; that fucking feeling: "And I wish I knew how to breathe again/ I fear I'm gonna die inside my skin". It was also a sudden death. Stay strong, man.
Most of the songs that they have written were because of personal experiences that were devastating. That's why I believe personally that their music touches the lives of people who have lost someone close to them.
It very much sounds like country. Whoever dislikes it because it sounds like country is just a culturally bankrupt person though. Different tastes is fine but music is not as rigid as people who want it to fit in their little box would like. The mastodon guys play all sorts of different kinds of music. They’re inspirations range from heavy post metal titans neurosis to the greatest guitar player that ever lived Chet Atkins. This is a deep dark psychedelic country inspired croon that sounds different. It’s awesome and incredibly original. Which is what the naysayer here doesn’t like. It’s what most metal heads don’t like. Different. Rigid boxed in fools who just want everything to sound “heavy”. It’s no wonder bands like opeth bailed on the genre. THere’s no room for artistic expression.
Lyrics: I love your face and the things that you do Make me warm sometimes when I'm away I guess you'd say that at the end of the day You'll be the only person here that exists You left my heart in some cold dark place Where your love grows on a vine and I see it all the time I didn't mean a word that I said When I was lying to your face about being alone I've gone away forever I've gone away I've gone away forever I've gone away I reach out to touch you baby You're not there You reach out to hold my hand Please don't you dare 'Cause I've gone away forever I've gone away I've gone away forever I've gone away I reach out to hug you baby You're not around You reach out to kiss my face Please not right now What can I say that hasn't been said before One hundred times before you took the dog And I wish I knew how to breathe again I fear I'm gonna die inside my skin This has gotta be the last time that we fight Or go at each other's throats Will you go, as I want to mend?
This song makes me drift away to somewhere else in my mind. I imagine I'm a lone explorer on the high seas riding the swell of the waves into an approaching storm. Realizing there's one small chance left to change my course before hitting the storm and the abyss that waits within, I decide the world behind is already known and not a care of mine....at least the abyss holds something unknown.
I think, metaphorically at some level, that's what we do when leaving a failed relationship. Headlong first into a storm of chaos and uncertainty. Either that or stay in the monotonous hell of your failure.
Where thy Mastodon heart shall beat a Cold Dark Place shivers. Vastly animalistic, virtuous, and one can feel the calm in the back of it all. Like a Cathedral without Christ. This EP went way past rating and awarding, right into the monumental spiritual bliss.
Same here!! I already learned to also sing and play the song (vocal + guitar). Beast of a song! I feel it's so personal for these guys! (or one of them)
i had my dad listen to this song and the whole album in general...he said "this is some of the best stuff ive heard ever." This song specifically brings toma place that is...it feels like home
Been jamming to Mastodon since I was a teenager and this song shows their work never ages. And plus this song help me cope with my emotional wound and thoughts of not wanting to live anymore. Keeping my emotions bottled deep down this song helps me feel heard.
I didn't like that song that much before, but now that my ex-girlfriend and I split up after 11 years I finally get it. Fuck, Brent suffered so hard to write this. Human beings wouldn't live past 20 if music didn't exist !
Thank You Brann, Brent, Bill and Troy for being amazing humans!! You make some of the most beautiful music. Not many bands can show such emotion in their songs. Never a bad song!!! Thank You🤘🤘
This song speaks to me, my woman left me for another man for unexplained reasons, and left me with nothing but vivid memories of what used to be and what could have been.
I just can't believe that it's been 3 years. This feels so fresh. What a fucking guitar work. What a fucking drumming. Song structure beats listeners like a mofo bastard cop. That badass outro riff and solo is next level man. So many feels. I love you Mastodon.
When this came out I was separated from my wife, and not long after I was divorced. This EP is about a huge nasty breakup between Brent and his girlfriend. This was a great soundtrack to my sadness at the time.
I had that same feeling the first time I heard ''Chimes At Midnight''.It had that powerful and eerie ambiance that made me love so much Matt Uelmen's work!Funny enough,my first listen was with a friend during the Act 1 of Diablo 3 Reaper Of Souls.We were already fans of Mastodon,but that track was so magical and fited the mood so right that It's certainly became one of the more fond memories that I have.
Oh hell no!Those are made by a genius.Most of the ambiance that these games have*Except 3,nothing memorable was there sadly* were because of those eerie but deeply melodic accoustic guitars...And man can we talk about the drums that plays behind wilderness?I swoon everytime I hear those sweet rythms xD.
wowwwwwwwwwww. This EP... stunning. This gave me some serious feels. Brilliant job guys... I wish this was a full album but goddamn this is some of your best work recently. Brent write more songs, love the vibe you give with the rest of the crew backing you up. Bravo, i really dig this. Maybe a full album Brent?? I have a hunger that needs to be quenched..this will do for now. Loved it from start to finish. Great finishing song too, wow keep it up. Bought the fuck out of this CD
A buddy threw me a couple tracks to check out and to be honest I wasn't blown away. Took it upon myself to delve in a bit more and I find this.... This shit I like. This shit I like a lot.
Brent the solo is gorgeous!!! Omg I something shot out of me when I heard that solo for the first time! I'm obsessed with this EP! Mastodons song crafting is better then every band out there! No one comes close!!!
I love your face and the things that you do Make me warm sometimes when I'm away I guess you'd say that at the end of the day You'll be the only person here that exists You left my heart in some cold dark place Where your love grows on a vine and I see it all the time I didn't mean a word that I said When I was lying to your face about being alone I've gone away forever I've gone away I've gone away forever I've gone away I reach out to touch you baby You're not there You reach out to hold my hand Please don't you dare 'Cause I've gone away forever I've gone away I've gone away forever I've gone away I reach out to hug you baby You're not around You reach out to kiss my face Please not right now Just fucking brilliant!!!
This song is simply beautiful. That chord structure on the 12-string makes me weep, in the two-bar transition after the verses (I've gone away...) and then , just brilliant. Love the fuck outta this song. Mastodon is simply masterful.
Buried my grandmother today... relatable. This is one band I've followed since like 15///// coming up on 15 years of being a fan. The sound has evolved like I have as the years have past . Keep making music you sons ah bitches!\

Anyone agree mastodon never disappointed?
i mean emperor of sand was a bit disappointing
Show Yourself was the worst song I've ever heard them write
Yes (ignore the first two comments, they are wholly inaccurate)
John Wayne agree. Although for me that chant in Aunt Lisa is pretty cringe worthy
I don't agree. They always disappoint me big time with their fucking live shows. They always sound bad. Great studio musicians though
You can feel the anguish underpinning the entire song, but I'm not going to lie, when the solo kicked in, I shed a couple tears.

It’s about battling cancer
Emperor of sand was about cancer this one was about Brents breakup.
jaguar god solo part make me shed a tears
Yeah, the wounds from family people dying was still fresh, and then came a split.
Best Brent Hinds' guitar solo ever. Fucking hell, the intensity of this solo can be compared to a whole fucking mountain crying after a fire took away the forest that has been on it for ages. Yeah that's a very specific comparison.
I just got done listening to the song 3 times in a row and now I'll have to go for a 4th round just because of your comparison.
now that is a comparison that actually hurts, well said man
I love this song , but he has better solos.
Its your own opinion tho.
I felt that v specific comparison completely.
Jaguar God solo beats it by a close margin imo
These guys can make any genre of music sound psychedelic

This was such a short album for the guys. Yet one of the most powerful. I'm not crying... you're crying...
It was an EP, originally it was going to be Brent's solo project but they decided to do it as a group

Not everyone gonna notice that the moon appears in the art as the track plays.
Kassadyn more orbs appears as well.
Right there on the nose hiding through the gnarls of trees. Special ain't it?
The image shifts upward
Downward?
Thats only because it scrolls up the album artwork through the song
That guitar solo as of right now might be the best guitar solo Mastodon has ever done
czcams.com/video/5BMF91CHkWM/video.html
Pendulous Skin, Jaguar God, Last Baron , The Czar.
cold dark place is a very fitting title for this new batch of masterial.
Geriatric FecalPhiliac are you a fucking idiot? If this sounds like country, then I'm Ozzy Osbourne.
You can kinda play using a slide and have the music not be country...
blues guitar uses slide.

"One hundred times before you took the DOG" definitely country haha
Brent conducts this EP like a boss.
the only bad thing about this album is that it's only 4 songs..... 4 fucking amazing songs
@user name somebody's jealous that they possess no talents.
@@Dread_Naught_But_The_Dark I see where he’s coming from though, personally I think that EOS is the weakest album, but it’s not bad at all.
Lyrics:
I love your face and the things that you do
Make me warm sometimes when I'm away
I guess you'd say that at the end of the day
You'll be the only person here that exists
You left my heart in some cold dark place
Where your love grows on a vine and I see it all the time
I didn't mean a word that I said
When I was lying to your face about being alone
I've gone away forever
I've gone away
I've gone away forever
I've gone away
I reach out to touch you baby
You're not there
You reach out to hold my hand
Please don't you dare
'Cause I've gone away forever
I've gone away
I've gone away forever
I've gone away
I reach out to hug you baby
You're not around
You reach out to kiss my face
Please not right now
What can I say that hasn't been said before
One hundred times before you took the dog
And I wish I knew how to breathe again
I fear I'm gonna die inside my skin
This has gotta be the last time that we fight
Or go at each other's throats
Will you go, as I want to mend?
Because I want to mend*
Yep, perfect!
tks
Hero

Break your back and crack your oars, man-- if you wish to prevail.
Dude straight up how I felt but traveling in the woods trying to find something that I'm not even aware of. This song really touched my heart
Wow man, really loved your post :)
I think, metaphorically at some level, that's what we do when leaving a failed relationship. Headlong first into a storm of chaos and uncertainty. Either that or stay in the monotonous hell of your failure.
The best band in the history of mankind...
Would love to meet the mastermind behind this some day. Brent forever in my heart
These new songs are hitting my in all the right ways.
I wish that the artwork for this EP was available in 1080 or something like that. Would be a kickass wallpaper.
Reminds me of old pink Floyd tribute artwork
Where thy Mastodon heart shall beat a Cold Dark Place shivers. Vastly animalistic, virtuous, and one can feel the calm in the back of it all. Like a Cathedral without Christ. This EP went way past rating and awarding, right into the monumental spiritual bliss.
love it. Has that 'soundgarden' feel to it
This song is so different than usual Mastodon song and hit so hard... can't stop listen it since I discover it.
The bluesiest song they ever played.
Same here!! I already learned to also sing and play the song (vocal + guitar). Beast of a song! I feel it's so personal for these guys! (or one of them)

There's something so incredibly hypnotic about gazing into a cold, moonless night sky as you listen to this

she'll never come back loser
So this is Mastodon's November Rain. Sick.
Except this is good.
I must've vibed to this song twenty times before I noticed that cover sslowly moves up. Beautiful fkn song and artwork. Mastodon is the 🐐
That intro riff brings me tears from the very beginning.
SO strong, yet so sad.
"And I wish I knew how to breathe again
I fear I'm gonna die inside my skin"
😢
I don't know how these guys write such incredible lyrics and music- but it speaks everything im feeling sometimes.

FANTASTIC ACOUSTIC SOUND.. W THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BRENT GUITAR RIFF / VIBRATO SOLO AT THE END... 💖
czcams.com/video/5BMF91CHkWM/video.html
Joy and sorrow in the same time...
Best album I ever heard in years,and its not even an album..
I haven't stopped listening to this since the first time I heard it. So many feels, simply ADORE everything these guys put out. 💜
This song makes me want to go Ooooooo oooooooooh ooooohhhh in the between the breaks of Brent's vocals. That wailing shredding Bill and Brent yes!!!
Reminds me of Pink Floyd - Echoes and Mars Volta - With twighlight as my guide. Yet I will replay forever, I will replay.
I love the sound these songs have. It reminds me of Matt Uelmen's work on the Diablo soundtracks.
I had that same feeling the first time I heard ''Chimes At Midnight''.It had that powerful and eerie ambiance that made me love so much Matt Uelmen's work!Funny enough,my first listen was with a friend during the Act 1 of Diablo 3 Reaper Of Souls.We were already fans of Mastodon,but that track was so magical and fited the mood so right that It's certainly became one of the more fond memories that I have.
YES those acoustics sound very Diablo-like
Damn.... you made me want to install diablo 1.
I thought I was the only nerd that listens to the Diablo soundtracks constantly.
Oh hell no!Those are made by a genius.Most of the ambiance that these games have*Except 3,nothing memorable was there sadly* were because of those eerie but deeply melodic accoustic guitars...And man can we talk about the drums that plays behind wilderness?I swoon everytime I hear those sweet rythms xD.
Waking up with some new Mastodon tracks..it will be a great day !
Perfection. Tears. Beautiful.
It's not even tomorrow yet, but I'm picking this shit up when the record store opens! Fucking beautiful!

Brent was always my fav voice in the band. He doesn't sound like anyone else,

Damn this is fuckin’ sick and beautiful! Taking all things to the next level! Good fuckin’ job Mastodudes: Brann, Brent, Bill and Troy.
HEXAGRAMXXX thought it was kwik, kwek and kwak
Accedentaly one of the best country songs in 5 years. I love it.
This is my fav song from the EP...mastodons ballads are the best !
i just can't get over how great this song is. i love it.
This song is simply beautiful.
Song makes me cry.

Gawd! These guys are capable of actualising any genre and make it hauntingly beautiful!🔥🔥💜💜
Pretty sure I've listened to this song or all four songs everyday since the release....will never get old. Great work.

Love it so much, Mastodon for lyfe
The whole EP is pure genius.
This song brought me to tears. The power of music
Me too, brother. So much emotion. Outstanding. You could literally feel Brent's pain.
I consider this a Mastodon 'blues' album and I love it
Great EP. Melodic, melancholic and understated.
We'll never have to worry about Mastodon disappointing us, AWESOME band!
that intro is godlike
love your music guys. This EP blow up my mind and soul...
I get sad when it’s over 😩🥺
This is my favorite Mastodon song. This EP was fucking surreal and far too short.
Thank you for the amazing gig in Portugal, hope you come back soon.
We love you guys so much.
Really enjoying the dark chilled mastodon,
I love your face and the things that you do
Make me warm sometimes when I'm away
I guess you'd say that at the end of the day
You'll be the only person here that exists
You left my heart in some cold dark place
Where your love grows on a vine and I see it all the time
I didn't mean a word that I said
When I was lying to your face about being alone
I've gone away forever
I've gone away
I've gone away forever
I've gone away
I reach out to touch you baby
You're not there
You reach out to hold my hand
Please don't you dare
'Cause I've gone away forever
I've gone away
I've gone away forever
I've gone away
I reach out to hug you baby
You're not around
You reach out to kiss my face
Please not right now
Just fucking brilliant!!!
Mega Bravo!!!Thanx a Lot from Georgia Caucasus!!!!
When this song came out I loved it by its musicality, now I appreciate it because of its lyrics...damn
Mastodon’s evolution has been quality through and through. More bands should take note that they can evolve while maintaining artistic integrity.
Never really given Mastodon a good listen but this is a good song. Glad it came up in the Ghost shuffle on Spotify. Love the music here and lyrics.
This is the Mastodon we deserve, and need.
this guys can touch the soul
Thank You For This.
Thay inspire me and my band so much, im glad that mastodon exist.
This song is simply beautiful. That chord structure on the 12-string makes me weep, in the two-bar transition after the verses (I've gone away...) and then , just brilliant. Love the fuck outta this song. Mastodon is simply masterful.
Love this EP, amazing song
The beginning has such a hearts alive vibe love it with Brent
Genuinely, I pray for this man.
This song is haunting me and I am visiting this Masterpiece again and again on repeat to get this Feel. Is anyone with me.? 🙄
yes I am
yes
Some serious metal history has been made my friends
Best song of the EP by far, it's amazing.
This is so beautiful it hurts.
Something about this song and album cover art that is both familiar and haunting. Like it's really from a dream of mine.
Awesome. Such a good quality of songwriring. Brent is not only a super soloist. He is also a very good singer.
Goosebumps. Just goosebumps.
That slide guitar gives me such goosebumps, then that solo!
czcams.com/video/5BMF91CHkWM/video.html
Finally found something I like, thanks Mastodon, you are wonderful!
I've gone away forever
I've gone away
I've gone away forever
I've gone away
Buried my grandmother today... relatable. This is one band I've followed since like 15///// coming up on 15 years of being a fan. The sound has evolved like I have as the years have past . Keep making music you sons ah bitches!\
very good song . I love Mastodon new EP
Got my new smartphone and the first thing I came to do was listening to this masterpiece 😍
I think that this was a perfect way to finish this album. Great job guys!
Nice, I hope that they continue at this level of quality and output!
Thank you Mastodon.
cold, dark and beautiful
