Mastodon, Opeth and Ghost

Not a lot of bands could cover the Flaming Lips and Feist for Record Store Day releases and retain the respect of diehard metalheads, but Mastodon is that kind of band. The Atlanta-reared prog-metal quartet took its sweet time coming to town to support last year’s masterful, blasting opus “The Hunter,” but local fans aren’t complaining, what with Swedish death-metal favorites Opeth co-headlining the tour this time around. Concertgoers might find reason to gripe over the venue change from the reconfiguring Brick, but at least there will be a lot more room to headbanging. Ghost, also from Sweden, opens.
