Mastodon have debuted their new song “Spectrelight” online below. Keeping with tradition, the song features a cameo from Scott Kelly of Neurosis. Speaking on the collaboration Scott Kelly offered:
“Mastodon approaches their sound honestly and from a mind at unity. I am honored to continue to be a part of their creative process, and to once again have the chance to join them on this expression that is undoubtedly their most adventurous work to date.”
The track will appear on the bands forthcoming album “The Hunter“, which has been slated for a September 27th release date through Reprise.
“Spectrelight“:
“We trip the light
Firebird flies
Burn your inside
Given a lesson
The path I’ve shown
Follow all I know
into the Spectralight
Into the afterlife
It came from the ocean
Gift from the sea
Lava forms the stone
Belief in power
Believe the truth
Trust your own truth
into the Spectralight
Into the afterlife
You listen through the light
Tolling on the sea
Barren eyes behind you
Leave the shadows waking dreams
Rising through the door
Writing with a knife
Cut speech
cut light
cut chord and break the dawning wretch of silence
Trust your own truth
souls of the fallen
death of the Godhead
listen and breathe
into the Spectralight
Into the afterlife”
