MASTODON - Tour Diary: London, England
For ten days this past summer, MetalKult editor Jimmy Hubbard hit the road with progressive thrash metallers Mastodon to document the band’s summer 2007 European tour in support of its latest record, Blood Mountain.
Hubbard’s journey with Mastodon began in Lisbon, Portugal, on June 28, 2007, and ended on July 8 at London’s Wembley Stadium. During these dates, across Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Greece, Denmark and Finland, the Atlantan four-piece played before audiences ranging from 2,000 to 70,000 people.
This eight-part series documents Mastodon’s powerful live performances opening for legendary acts like Metallica, Slayer, and Meshuggah, and also captures the revelry that ensued when this unaffected band—Troy Sanders (bass/vocals), Bill Kelliher (guitar), Brent Hinds (guitar) and Brann Dailor (drums)—bro-ed down with its friends and tour mates in the ancient cities of Europe.
The eighth and final installment of MetalKult’s weekly series takes place on July 8th, 2007, when Mastodon played Wembley Stadium in London, England. Once again Mastodon opened for Metallica and were joined by Machine Head and H.I.M. playing for roughly 70,000 people. This final show in a long string of European dates marked thirteen straight months of touring in support of Blood Mountain.
