Mastodon
About This Event
Mastodon brings progressive-metal, sludge and stoner-rock dynamics to Brooklyn Paramount, extending its narrative-scale songwriting and shifting time signatures into a lineup altered by Brent Hinds’ 2025 departure. They share the bill with Alcest, whose shoegaze, post-rock and black-metal textures move between dense distortion and open melodic passages, favoring unfolding dynamics over immediacy.
