Mastodon at Sheffield Corporation, Tue 15 Feb
Following the melody-mangling maggot-corp of Slipknot and the big-bucks angst-rap of Linkin Park, Mastodon are the next truly huge metal behemoths creeping over the horizon, replete with equally shaggy barnets & facial hair, and backed by an album so monstrously inventive it’s a surprise half these songs don’t have their own patent!»
About the venue
About the artists
Mastodon
Formed in Atlanta in 1999, Mastodon’s debut EP ‘Lifesblood’ (2001) earned them a reputation as one of the most exciting new forces in metal. Since then, they’ve developed a cult fan base through constant touring. Not only did they tour with Slayer and Slipknot on their co-headline tour of Europe, but they’ve also played with Queens Of The Stone Age, Dillinger Escape Plan and Cephalic Carnage to name but a few. They recently released their debut DVD, The Workhouse Chronicles, that featured a documentary and live footage.
Formerly signed to Relapse, home to their first two albums (Remission and Leviathan), Mastodon are now signed to Reprise.
