WTF is going on in this video, “Sleeping Giant” by Mastodon?I am assuming this is some form of bizarre, artistic lecture of the abusive nature of the evil of mankind and the effects on our planet and the cosmos, as the two what would be Obi-Wan Kenobi-esque students, taught by, a guy dressed as Dr. Doom from the Fantastic Four (WTF? Obi-Wan Kenobi is in my spell-check?) I digress; the students watch as the life given provides a very primitive group of organisms, incubation occurs and now man is on the micro-planet-building huts, killing dinosaurs etc; incubate again for a growing city-let the pollution begin, incubate one more time, add two-tablespoons of nuclear power, three missiles, a nasty guitar rift, stir and watch as the planet is turned to ash. "Get it people? Quit f'in up the planet or this is what will happen", seems to be the message from Mastodon-now watch this nasty guitar rift, byaah!
After watching this video, après WTF? I got their massage as wacky as the video was and came to appreciate the band’s creativity. I'll even go as far as to wish the band members were high school science teachers; wait they would never make the cut--too much “Evolution” going on in this video. Sorry guys.
