From the opening wails of “Black Tongue” (accompanied by some adorable tongue-wagging by guitarist Brent Hinds) to the soaring peaks of “Octopus Has No Friends,” [Mastodon] deftly wove its way through a setlist containing most of the tracks from last year’s The Hunter along with other fan favorites. An extra-flashy light setup cloaked the band in hazy neon lights, making already-epic songs like “Blasteroid” downright menacing. The extra bits of A/V magic–including a pair of glowing, flashing eyes embedded in the tapestry behind the foursome–dramatically reiterated what we all already knew: Mastodons are masters of their craft. -[CMJ]

The Mastodon/Opeth/Ghost Heritage Hunter tour breezed into NYC on Wednesday (4/11) when the bands shared a stage at Roseland Ballroom. Here are some pics and all setlists.

The tour rolls on, and the bands play the Riv in Chicago tonight while the Decibel tour (without Watain) plays across town in the same city.
