MTV premiered their new video and offered this explanation by the band's drummer Brann Dailor:
"We're explorers on a mountain, kind of a Mt. Everest type of situation, sort of like John Carpenter's The Thing," Dailor tells SPIN.com about the clip, which was directed by Roboshobo (Metallica) and filmed at Jim Henson Studios in Los Angeles, CA. "We're climbing up a mountain, finding various early-man artifacts along the way that flash back to us as cavemen, and using these artifacts in some kind of bizarre ritual. We get to the top of the mountain and discover an iceman, and it happens to be [frontman Brent Hinds], who is frozen in a block of ice. We pull out a Flying V, blast the ice away with lightning that comes out of the guitar and jam the end solo with Brent on the top of the mountain. And then he kills us and eats us, and then he gets killed by a Yeti."

Mastodon must love the yeti. I previously blogged about them in this post for helping to make available a mobile phone skin of a yeti fighting a sabre-toothed tiger.
