Taking inspiration from a wide range of sources was part of what made Primus one of the most distinctive, innovative bands of the 1990s. Primus released their ninth album last year, The Desaturating Seven, a concept record themed around the Italian author Ul de Rico’s 1978 children’s book, The Rainbow Goblins.

Atlanta-based sludge/stoner/alternative metal outfit Mastodon formed in 1999 and received the 2018 Grammy for Best Metal Performance. Last year, Mastodon released their seventh LP, Emperor of Sand, and a follow-up EP, Cold Dark Place, featuring a new song, “Toe to Toes,” and three leftover tracks from the sessions of 2014’s Once More ‘Round the Sun.

Put your horns up and do not miss the metal-tastic performance!
