On the 16th October Mastodon returned to Reno with Gojira as support. Last time I saw them here at the Grand Sierra resort they were double headed with Opeth. Mastodon I’ve followed for a number of years. Their popularity has grown significantly and their recent albums reflect a little more mainstream heavy rock in their style. Gojira have a unique and much copied sound that still makes my hair stand on end. Opening with Explosia, 6 times I’ve seen them do this opener, still gets the crowd going. Gojira are very much a live band for me. I rarely listen to their albums unless I’m on a long drive. These guys are designed to listen to live!
