A Mastodon tour is cool enough on its own. The thunderous riffs and progged-out guitars of the Atlanta-based quartet should satisfy the appetite of the most insatiable long-tressed, spike-belt-wearing, potentially-wizard-beard-possessing metalhead.

Those of you aspiring to be the next Slayer (or at least the next Behemoth) better strap on your sleeveless leather shirts and hire new A&R reps, because the new best-charting death metal album in history was written and performed by a comedian, for a comedy show.... read more
