This is the title track of American Heavy Metal band Mastodon's fifth studio album. The album was recorded at Doppler Studios in Atlanta with producer Mike Elizondo, who has worked on hit songs for an assortment of artists ranging from Dr. Dre to Fiona Apple. It is Mastodon's second non-concept album, the first being Remission.
The album was titled The Hunter in honor of guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds' brother, Brad, who unexpectedly passed away while hunting in December 2010. Mastodon actually had two working titles for the album in honor of Brad: "The Hunter" or "Brother."
This minimal and emotionally charged track is one of two songs on The Hunter reflecting on personal tragedies the band went through during the recording of the album, the other one being "The Sparrow."
