Mastodon is an American metal band formed in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. in the year 2000. Their music is categorized as sludge metal or progressive metal.

The band is comprised of drummer Brann Dailor, guitarist Bill Kelliher, bassist Troy Sanders and Guitarist Hinds. The foursome met at a High on Fire concert and formed Mastodon after getting along right away. After recording a demo in 2000, Mastodon was signed to Relapse Records in 2001. They released their debut album “Remission” in 2002 and the sophomore album “Leviathan” followed in 2004.

Mastodon’s “Leviathan” is a concept album, whose theme revolves around the novel “Moby Dick” by Herman Melville. The album received honorable mentions in UK music magazines “Kerrang!” and “Terrorizer.” Mastodon’s work also gained popularity in the video gaming industry. Songs off of “Remission” appeared in video game “Tony Hawk’s Underground,” the single “Iron Tusk” from “Leviathan” was featured in “Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland,” and the single “Blood and Thunder” appeared in “Guitar Hero: Metallica” and “Need for Speed: Most Wanted.”

In 2006 Mastodon ended their contract with Relapse Records and signed with Warner Bros. Music. The third album “Blood Mountain” boosted Mastodon to commercial success. The album reached No.9 on music magazine Rolling Stone’s best albums of 2006 and they performed the single “Colony of Birchmen” with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age at the MTV Music Video Awards in 2007. Mastodon was also nominated for their performance of the same single at the 2007 Grammy awards. “Colony of Birchmen” also debuted on video game “Rock Band 2” and “Blood Mountain” single “Sleeping Giant” was made popular on video game “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.”

The album “Crack the Skye” was released in March 2009 and focuses on the themes of wormholes, Stephen Hawking’s theories, and out-of-body experiences. Scott Kelly from the band Neurosis guest features on the singles “Crack the Skye,” “Aqua Dementia,” and “Crystal Skull.” Drummer Dailor provides the vocals for the single “Oblivion.” The album was promoted on American show “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” and on the European leg of the Metallica tour “World Magnetic Tour” in 2009. Artist Paul Romano provides the artwork for the album covers and backdrops for Mastodon. Mastodon cites metal bands like Neurosis and Melvins and 1970’s artist Thin Lizzy as their musical inspiration.

Live reviews

It baffles me how Mastodon are not playing big arenas...not that I'm complaining...to see them rocking it up close and personal was just epic.

The setlist was made up mainly of newer material - the tour, after all, being a promo for the latest album, Once more round the sun, but finished with an amazing crescendo that was the classic duo of crystal skull and blood and thunder.

Other than an early technical glitch in which Brent's mic was barely audible, Mastodon completely rocked the stage, usually letting the music do the talking, from Brann's ferocious and highly complex drumming to the amazing rapid fire guitar harmonies between Bill and Brent and who can forget Troy's iconic voice and intricate bass lines, which I personally enjoyed being able to see up close.

The few times the band did talk were genuinely heartfelt or witty. "It smells good in here" proclaimed Brent as an obvious stench of weed hung over the crowd. There was none of the obligatory shouts of 'make some noise" and believe me they didn't need to, the crowd bellowed its approval at every opportunity.

The only problem was that every time the crowd tried to enjoy itself, the fascists at the academy put a dampner on it immediately, shining their torches in people's faces like Patrick Stewart in Conspiracy theory. However, the crowd enjoyed every moment judging by the chorus of agreement when they announced that the band would be returning to the UK in the summer. Personally, I'm praying for Sonisphere again. After seeing Mastodon this close, only Knebworth will do!

US heavy metal titans Mastodon have managed a rare thing in this transitional era of modern metal: gaining mainstream, international exposure while remaining progressive and, most importantly, heavy. The first time I saw them was when they were touring their sludgy, riff-driven classic, Leviathan, in a little club in Devon. They felt and sounded like classic heavy metal, with the groove aspects of Pantera combined with experimental drum patterns and Rush-like guitar intricacies. ‘Blood And Thunder’ was and is one of the best live metal songs of the last two decades. Mastodon have since mellowed out, in a way, replacing the scream-heavy sludge metal with a more melodic prog-metal style. But what they’ve lost in sheer heaviness they’ve made up for with innovation. Albums Blood Mountain and the incredible Crack The Skye took them to new heights, especially the latter, which they played in full when they first toured it over here in the UK. However, their most recent two albums – The Hunter and Once More 'Round the Sun – have cemented their status as one of the world’s biggest, loudest and best heavy metal bands of this era.

The twin vocals of guitarist Brent Hinds and bassist Tory Sanders – two singers who have very different but complementary vocal styles – are certainly the focal point, but they wouldn’t be anywhere without the unique, relentlessly inventive drums of Brann Dailor. Incredible.

Hair? Check. Beards? Check. Tattoos? Check. Riffs? Double and triple check. Atlanta, Georgia’s sludge metal kings Mastodon are here to rock your world. While 2002’s Remission was the debut album for Troy Sanders, Brent Hines and co, it wasn’t until the epic 2004 record Leviathan that we got some idea of the scope and ambition of Mastodon. This is a band not afraid of a concept album, nor do they worry about song lengths or structures. They’ve even gone as far as releasing Crack the Skye with two versions: one with vocals, and one without. While talk of space travel, astral planes and out-of-body experiences has whiffs of Spinal Tap about it, this all vanishes once the band takes to the live arena. Mastodon bring prog-metal intensity to their live shows, battering the crowd with wave upon wave of riffs and noise, yet this is a band who know the power of a melody and just like forbearers Led Zeppelin they can pull off multiple harmonies without you immediately thinking of Hobbits and Middle Earth. They’ll vary a set most nights, but it would be surprising if they didn’t end a show with the brutal sludge one-two of ‘Aqua Dementia’ and ‘The Sparrow’, both of which are long-time fan favourites and bound to make your night go out with one almighty and enormous bang.

AMAZING, the best show I've ever seen! I'm not that big a fan of EODM but they were a lot of fun for sure. Mastodon was an experience! Everybody was so good because they are obviously some of the BEST at what they do! But oh my God, RUSSIAN CIRCLES! These guys were nothing short of PERFECT. They STOLE THE SHOW for me. I could barely stand because the bass was so MONSTROUS. But this drummer knew EXACTLY what he was doing and played PERFECTLY with the rest of the band. These guys are something to see live! They are HEAVIER than the HEAVIEST MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE.

Solid line-up with a good mixture of classic and new songs from the ‘Emperor of Sand’.

Right from the start, a well packed Melkweg crowd gets dragged into the dark depths with songs from ‘Crack the Sky’.

CD quality riffs, guitar solos and tight beats carry our spirits from start to end.

Well orchestrated dancing lights and grasping images flash and flow to have our eyes gaze with amazement as sound waves engulf us to all familiar black thunder and melodic moments of liberation.

Truly a night to remember for a very long time, so thank you Mastodon.

Absolutely beautiful and insane. They played nearly a 2.5hr setlist which featered songs from EVERY ALBUM. There was an amazing mosh pit. Picks and drum stick thrown everywhere. They have really put forth their effort to span their setlist across a lot of their classics. From divinations to mother puncher to march of the fire ants and so on. Plus with Eagles of Death Metal being such a great opener. If there is any tour to go see them, it's this one!

Fifth time of seeing mastodon live, these guys never fail to deliver the goods. On a freezing cold night in Manchester mastadon brought their latest stage show to the masses. A 90 minute set of all the classics plus a chunk of songs from the latest album emperor of Sands. Great show,great set,great band. An excellent night of live music was had by 2000 metalheads who decended on Manchester academy last night.

How can Mastodon fail,

They are the superheroes of music if you ask me.

The venue was hot, I had to dump my water and purchase a $4 bottle.

Although we did get a complementary towel and plastic fan..

The band performed flawlessly as hoped.

They need to come to Redding California

Also Primus was good but.....

Mastodon definitely should have been headlining that show.

Very entertaining gig and great audience response. It was my first time at Brixton Academy and quite liked it. Acoustics were decent, but you can't expect studio-like quality with this kind of music. Mutoid Man were convincing, Kvelertak were exciting and Mastodon were on fire. Scott Kelly taking part to the end of the show added an epic flavour to the whole experience.

I saw Mastodon in 2009 with five finger death punch. What made this show more special was that it was the last day of my freshman year of high school. I am a huge fan of Mastodon, they have an incredible style that just mixes classic metal styles, southern blues licks and hardcore punk driving choruses. They have an incredible sound and I can't wait to see them again!

Gig review: Mastodon and Gojira, Auckland's Trusts Arena

Share this article

US rock band Mastodon. Photo / Supplied

One amazing thing about the epic metal double bill that went down in West Auckland last night is that it happened at all.

Some kind of logistical mess-up meant both Mastodon and Gojira found, on the morning of the gig, that none of their gear had arrived in New Zealand.

Devastated and initially facing the prospect of cancelling, the bands put the word out and Auckland's metal and rock community responded - rallying to find them the drum kits, numerous guitars and sound equipment needed to get the dial up to 11.

Some of the credit no doubt goes to local support acts Just One Fix and Mothra who helped with the gear but didn't get to play due to the technical difficulties of getting the headliners set up on the borrowed gear.

Mastodon would like to give a giant shout out to all the people, bands,local crew and Mastocrew for pulling together to... Posted by Mastodon on  Friday, 30 March 2018

The pay off was that the dedicated crowd at the Trusts Arena got to see something special as the bands, out of their comfort zone, invoked the spirit of rock and roll and dug deep.

With a minimal light show and no visual backdrop, it was all about the music. Both bands killed.

French metal legends Gojira were hard edged, industrial at times, but with prog detours and noisy art rock breakdowns worthy of Sonic Youth at their most manic.

Lead singer Joe Duplantier is charismatic, with the chiselled look of Chris Cornell about him. He explained the gear scenario and won crowd early.

Duplantier even dropped a little French existential philosophy into his banter, reminding us there is only the "here and now", as if the bludgeoning sonic assault wasn't enough to keep us focused

Gojira are a tough act to follow.

But Mastodon have earned their spot as one of greatest hard rock and metal acts in the world right now.

Hard rock or metal? To borrow a line from The Blues Brothers - they play both kinds of music. With incredible skill - and all four members sharing vocals - they range across metal sub-genres from the darkest of death metal roars to sludgy grunge crooning, classic 70s era wailing and even some surprisingly sweet harmonies.

The band took a few songs to warm up, possibly getting the feel of the unfamiliar gear, but when they hit their straps you could see them smiling and you knew it was going to get good.

Drummer Brann Dailor drove the band to something special. Without ever indulging he took the lead on several occasions. At times all you could do was lock into the drum track and let the complex rhythms consume you.

Dailor is as crisp nimble and tight as a jazz drummer but still manages the thundering heaviness that genre requires.

View this post on Instagram Mastodon and Gojira were both epic last night. Apparently all their instruments got lost on the flight over here but they managed to borrow gear from locals to put on an amazing show.

Up front the rest of the band let rip. The two pronged lead guitar attack soars like Lynyrd Skynyrd in full flight.

Front man Troy Sanders, on bass, hams up the metal poses - with his now greying mane of hair and Gandalf-length beard giving him a wizard like aura.

Mastodon in top form are worthy of comparison to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath or Metallica.

They take you to a primeval place. They don't do ambiguity.

They roar like paleolithic hunters, screaming into a storm of thunder and lightning, cursing the gods for the suffering they have bestowed on the world.

Then they shift a gear. Suddenly you're bouncing to a dirty rock groove worthy of Guns and Roses or Queens of the Stone Age .

Live, the poppier, more radio friendly numbers off new album Emperor of Sand , shake off any softness that might have crept into the studio mix. Show Yourself just rocked and Steambreather provided an epic close.

But for the fans, classics like Blood and Thunder and Black Tongue delivered a megalithic dose of metal magic.

This is a band still evolving, still at its peak. Still brutal.
