WWJK presents The Mega-Monsters Tour: Mastodon and Gojira with special guest Lorna Shore at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre on Friday, May 5, 2023.
GRAMMY® Award-winning band Mastodon continue to chart their own course through their highly successful music career. Troy Sanders (bass/vocals), Brent Hinds (guitar/vocals), Bill Kelliher (guitar) and Brann Dailor (drums/vocals), have unleashed a series of influential albums. Rolling Stone notably cited 2004’s “Leviathan” on its coveted The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time. Their evolution continues later this year, with their ninth full-length offering “Hushed and Grim”.
Gojira tends to operate in polar extremes. “I can’t help but see humanity as a parasite,” Gojira’s co-founding guitarist and principal songwriter Joe Duplantier explains, “and yet the most beautiful things come out of humans.” To that end, the French quartet — Duplantier and his brother Mario [drums], Christian Andreu [guitar], and Jean-Michel Labadie [bass] — have spent the past 15 years translating this duality into a distinctive sound: dark, crushing metal brightened by triumphant arena-rock melodies, contrast-heavy and emotionally charged.
