Watch A Geek Declare War In Mastodon's Impossibly Nerdy "High Road" Video
Metal is probably the nerdiest music there is, and Mastodon are embracing that. With all the references to Medieval mythology in the genre, you'd think a popular heavy band would have a sense of humor—or the know how to play with these themes. Enter "High Road."
The music video follows the rather dull life of an gangly-looking teen. He plays Dungeons & Dragons with his grandma before participating in a live action role-playing game that gets pretty damn intense. Definite shades of Role Models, here.
Spoiler: It doesn't end well for him. Check out the vid above!
