Mastodon Take 'The Hunter' on North American Tour, Play Toronto, Montreal

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Sep 12, 2011

With Atlanta metal masters Mastodon just weeks away from dropping their new The Hunter disc, it should come as no surprise that the road warriors will want to take their new tunes out on the road. Earlier this morning (September 12), the band confirmed that they will be taking off on a jaunt this fall, and they'll be bringing some equally punishing bands along with them.

The tour kicks off on October 25 in Austin, TX, but along the way the band will hit up Canada twice, once in Montreal and again in Toronto. You can check out the detailed schedule below.

Tagging along on the trip will be long-running prog-metal destructors the Dillinger Escape Plan and Portland-based riff rockers Red Fang.

As previously reported, The Hunter comes out September 27 on Reprise Records. Check out the surprisingly catchy groove rocker "Curl of the Burl" below.
