Mastodon

US progressive-sludge royalty Mastodon have just announced a short, three day tour of our lovely country! The Georgian-based metallers will be hitting Australia come late next March.

Tickets go on sale Thursday 11 December at 9am local time via the usual outlets.

Heavy music is typically a battlefield upon which the uninitiated dare not tread, but MASTODON unifies the tribes unlike anyone else.

Album after album, MASTODON set the pace for modern heavy metal. They took pole position fresh out of Atlanta some 14 years ago, and with album number six, ‘Once More Round the Sun’, show no signs of giving it up. ”MASTODON are obviously from another planet. Let’s just be happy they’re occupying ours for a while.” – Blabbermouth

The band is so balls-out creative — in its zealous riffage, its metaphysical motifs, its visual components — that it energizes even the crustiest headbangers. MASTODON fans have never witnessed a full headline tour in Australia before and finally the long agonising wait is over!

The band’s most recent effort is this year’s ‘Once More ‘Round the Sun’, released in June via Reprise Records.
