Mastodon Announces 2007 Tour

The bearded, heavy-metal monsters of Mastodon have announced a slew of 2007 concert dates in support of their third studio album, Blood Mountain, released last September. Blood Mountain has been praised by critics and fans alike as a return to the heavy metal trends of the 80s with lyrics about Dungeons and Dragons warfare accentuated by more melodic song structure. Expect furious double-bassing and many a Norse epic reference to say the least if you plan to see Mastodon live.
