This film showcases the unique collaboration between Mastodon and the animation team at Hey Beautiful Jerk, led by drummer Brann Dailor. It features an astral projection storyline centered on a telepathic, paraplegic boy and is enriched with stunning visuals inspired by the original album artwork by Paul Romano.

The animation brings to life various songs from the album, with designs crafted by illustrator Skinner, introducing viewers to a range of characters including Rasputin, Satan, and other fantastical creatures. The film's creative direction was helmed by Gina Niespodziani and Mark Szumski, who also contributed to the editing and CGI elements.
