Get ready for a night of metal madness with the Atlanta band Mastodon! We last caught the band in 2010 at the Fox Theater Pomona where they gave an outstanding performance, and now the band is back for another show at the venue this Friday, October 17th! The band released their sixth studio album Once More ‘Round the Sun earlier this year, which as expected was received with great reviews and sold 34,000 copies within its first week of release. When interviewed about the new album, vocalist Troy Sanders described their new material as eye-opening, striking, and from another dimension. Sound like something you’d want to experience? Don’t miss out! Supporting acts include the French heavy metal band, Gojira and the Norwegian heavy metal band, Kvelertak.
Also, Mastodon has announced they will perform their new single, “The Motherload,” on The Late Show With David Letterman on Monday, October 27th. In addition, “The Motherload” will be released as a special limited-edition 12″ vinyl picture disc in honor of Record Store Day’s Black Friday celebration, which takes place on November 28th.
