Mastodon Touring
Thanks to Productshop for bringing this to my attention because I almost spaced the fact that Mastodon is playing Bowery Ballroom on May 12th. Not since early Metallica (and yes they sound very similar) have I enjoyed a heavy metal album so much (not that I've really kept up). Guilty as charged....this is the metal band that even the indie rock press is raving about.
The metal community likes them too...
"Mastodon continue to redefine "heavy", and lay waste to all that is boring and stagnant in metal with their 2nd full length album. "Leviathan" satisfies cravings for those who dream of what Metallica would sound like if they were still 23 and were really into Neurosis." - Absolut Metal
Listen to two tracks on their ecard.

Oh, please. Pitchfork only posted a rave review of Leviathan long after everyone else did. Stylus and PopMatters, not to mention countless music papers, published reviews several months prior. Popular as they are, Pitchfork remains hopelessly out of touch when it comes to metal.

no arguments there, although Pitchfork also reviewed them in 2002:

I don't see a 2002 PopMatters review, but here's their 2004 one:
