These guys can make any genre of music sound psychedelic

[PowDJoke]

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.

[ildiran]

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.

[purpleslushie]

This was such a short album for the guys. Yet one of the most powerful. I'm not crying... you're crying...

[Haegi]

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

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?

[CHUMLAR]

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! ❤️

[NeesyPlaysGuitar]

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.

[SirSquash]

cold dark place is a very fitting title for this new batch of masterial.

[robertserro]

That guitar solo as of right now might be the best guitar solo Mastodon has ever done

[LoneWanderer]

The best band in the history of mankind...

Would love to meet the mastermind behind this some day. Brent forever in my heart <3

Thank you for the amazing music.

[benzskyeshxc]

Anyone agree mastodon never disappointed?

[KeeperOfKale]

These new songs are hitting my in all the right ways.

[SparksofHell]

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 wish that the artwork for this EP was available in 1080 or something like that. Would be a kickass wallpaper.

[kriss]

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.

[yavascita]

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.

[damypoup]

This song is so different than usual Mastodon song and hit so hard... can't stop listen it since I discover it.

[JamesHiser-fm]

This band changed the way I listen to music and probably saved my life.

[ma_kiaru]

This album is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard
