After their much talked about "The Motherload" video, Mastodon are back with a new one. It is for another song from their latest musical creation, the Once More 'Round The Sun album. The band teamed up once again with the album's cover artist Skinner, who is the brain behind "Asleep In The Deep." It involves a badass cat and catacombs. Take the journey and see it for yourself right here!

"This concept was birthed out of my curiosity about what a cat really does at night while we are asleep," says Skinner. "Where do they go? Cats have a very mysterious myth to them and I thought it would be cool to explore that, as little nocturnal heroes. I decided to put a sort of Joseph Campbell hero myth spin on it and add some Jodorowsky psychedelia as well. I'm more than excited about the way it came out! I love it!"

The video tells the psychedelic and epic journey of a house cat who unknowingly travels into a bizarre gypsy catacomb where it encounters a giant bullfrog, a three-headed evil rat king, cat gnomes, cheese slaves and a warrior squirrel. "Asleep In The Deep" is directed by Atlanta-based director, Video Rahim, and co-directed by Special FX guru, Shane Morton (Head of SPFX Make-Up on Adult Swim's Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell) and Skinner. Hey Beautiful Jerk, a NYC-based design and visual effects boutique, provided creative direction and all post production services.
