Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Seabeast by Mastodon

Today's Metal Track is brought to you by Mastodon. This is off of their 2004 concept album Leviathan. The album is loosely based on the Herman Melville novel Moby-Dick. Leviathan is a sea monster reference numerous time in the Tanakh, or the Old Testament.

I've always loved this song and the imagery used in the video. It starts out a little slow but don't worry, it comes around full force. The last minute or so is fantastic. This particular YouTube video includes a short intro by Troy and Brent on Headbangers Ball with Brent acting goofy and probably under the influence.
