Metal legends Mastodon release the 15th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of their fourth studio album, Crack the Skye. The set includes the original album remastered alongside, Crack the Skye: The Score, which features instrumental versions of each track. Originally released in March 2009, the album features "Oblivion", "Divinations" "The Last Baron" and more. Crack the Skye was released in 2009 through Reprise, Sire and Relapse Records, and represents the element of aether, which is represented by the souls and spirits of all things, a theme closely related to the context of the album. Because the elements of fire, water and earth have already been represented by the band's first three albums Remission, Leviathan, Blood Mountain and the band's seventh album Emperor of Sand, respectively, the element of air is the only classical element which has yet to be represented by a Mastodon album, as their follow-up studio albums The Hunter and Once More 'Round the Sun do not represent an element, nor are they concept albums. Crack the Skye is the first studio album to feature drummer Brann Dailor as the band's third lead vocalist.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
