Yes, Troy Sanders looks a bit like a Mastodon (which resembles a wooly mammoth but isn’t one), but that’s not why they named their band after a huge lumbering beast that trolled around the ancient world. They just feel a bit like one as a band apparently. ‘Mastodon’ means ‘Nipple-tooth’ in Greek or Latin or Welsh or something. This also had nothing to do with their decision. They’ve announced a tour.

The beasts of American hardcore metal are the critic’s choice of the New-Wave Metal bands that America was inflicting on the world in the 1990s. Their technical ability is impressive, their creativity is off the charts and they have a stage presence that could only be topped if they had a actual Mastondon on Bass.
They have a tendency to get a bit concept with their albums too. Their latest album, ‘Crack the Skye’, which came out in March is the story of a paraplegic astral traveler who strays too close to the sun and meets Rasputin. Wormholes may also be involved. Their latest EP, is called Oblivion. I have no idea what that’s about
Mastodon’s tour dates are:
Feb 16 - Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall
Feb 17 - O2 Academy, Bristol
Feb 19 - Glasgow Barrowlands
Feb 20 - Manchester Academy
Feb 21 - O2 Academy, Newcastle
Feb 23 - Nottingham Rock City
