Mastodon: Rock Band in New York

About Mastodon

Mastodon is a heavy metal group from Atlanta, formed in 2000 and long anchored by Troy Sanders, Brent Hinds, Bill Kelliher, and Brann Dailor. Their catalog draws on progressive metal, sludge, and stoner rock, built around shifting time signatures and narrative-scale songwriting rather than radio form. In New York City, they bring that approach to rooms like Brooklyn Paramount, often sharing bills with acts such as Deafheaven and Alcest. After Hinds’ departure in 2025, the band entered a new chapter while keeping its core rhythmic and vocal interplay.
