Mastodon - Ghost Of Karelia [Live]

"Ghost of Karelia" Lyrics:

Wrathful ones nine eyes gaze
Holding skulls
Filled and laced
With human blood

Shades of darkened skies
Emptiness
Twilight holding through
Offering

Life in zenith
Bulls blood shot eyes
Flattened portrait of the night sky

Feel crust hum
Facing the North
Vapor space

Between heaven and Earth
Wisdom and the knower
A planet collide
Divisible we fall

Hear dirt waves
Wading forth
Vapor space

How long has it been since we flew through the shadows
I have walked on many other planets

Sinister twin
Choking on fear
Bonded iron
Sink to the core

[dharmadrummer]

i remember living in the rehearsal space across the hall from them. can't complain about getting woken up to the sound of Blood Mountain being written.

[ObsoleteTechnologies]

why i like mastodon?>there are no weak links, everyone is required to perform.

[theWulfWard]

You've got to realize, these guys tour a lot. Brent and the rest of the guys in Mastodon give 100% every night for weeks on end and after a while their voices get rough. And yes, singing and playing at the same time is hard, even for a seasoned pro like Brent.

[Testamentslayer]

This is the first time I've actually sat down and watched and listened to Mastodon, and I gotta say this is one of the most unique and talented metal bands I've heard in a looong time. Can't wait to click on the next vid, haha.

[derrick_fsher]

2 12 strings live. Fucking legendary. I fucking love these guys. Raw and pure talent. Long live Mastodon 🤘🏻

[CaptnPpyPnts]

Brent did a phenomenal job with Divinations during this life show

[JohnMatayas]

Love how present the bass is in this version

[scottclark]

Troy’s voice is fantastic IMO. This band puts out so much sound, it’s amazing.

[CurtisSpiers]

Troy's voice has improved so much over all these years... *sheds tear*

[gudalpesanz]

I don't understand why people say they suck live. Troy Sanders sounds amazing. They all know what they're suppose to do. I'm not going to get to see them live until next year because they're fixing to leave the country. I bet you they are kick ass too! This performance is impeccable!

[sleuth]

These guys are the shit. I always feel like they look like mechanics. Like they are going to go to the garage when they are done with a show and start working on an old muscle car.

[el.viejo.zorro.]

I just leraned this song on the guitar.

Fuck its complicated.

3/4, 2/4, 5/4, and 4/4 on a single song.

[whythewar]

Brent actually sort of reminds me of my dad, which is why my family is awesome.

[slinov]

Saw these guys in Bristol (UK) and that giant screen added so much to the performance. incredible band. :D

[SirBetty]

Mastodon is actually a 7 man band. 4 awesome musicians and 3 awesome beards :D

[Joko]

sometimes troy looks like hes yawning into the mic :D

[AmuseMe]

Mastodon is metal for clever people. Notice how the crowd isn't just moshing and ignoring the music. They came for the music, which is really what concerts should be about. Going for the music, not some flashy stage show with some colored lights.

[kempy]

Mastodon is such a fitting name for this band. True beasts.

[thelegendrubyrodd]

Fuck making excuses for Brent because there is no need. No one sounds like they do in the studio when playing live. I personally love how songs have a new life when performed live. So Brent's voice is exactly the way it should be. Fuck the haters!

[baristo]

One of my favourite Mastodon songs..maybe because im from Finland and my roots are from Karelia. in finnish its called Karjala
