Recommended: Mastodon with Eagles of Death Metal and Russian Circles @ The Fillmore
The Atlanta-based Mastodon will headline in Denver for the first time in two years. Formed in 1999, the band of four were one of a few artists that put out a new wave of heavy metal that began in the mid-nineties. The genre entailed adding elements of hardcore and progressive metal. Mastodon’s third album Blood Mountain earned them a spot on Billboard’s Top 200 – and “Colony of Birchmen” was nominated for a Grammy for “Best Metal Performance” in 2007. Their newly released album Emperor of Sand is one of their most expressive EPs to date. It was inspired by drummer Brann Dailor’s hardships following his wife’s recovery from cancer, as well as the death of guitarist Bill Kelliher’s mother.
