Mastodon and Opeth Announce Co-Headlining Spring 2012 Tour Dates with Special Guests Ghost

Nominated at this year’s Grammy’s for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, rock group Mastodon are joining with Opeth and Ghost on a Spring tour. The group also recently debuted the music video for their single, “Dry Bone Valley.”

Following the success of the release of their latest album, The Hunter, Mastodon have announced their coming tour dates. Tickets are currently available here. This record was featured on several of 2011’s “best of” lists, including Rolling Stone, Spin, and Revolver. It was The Hunter‘s track “Curl of the Burl” that earned the group their Grammy nomination. The entire album was received well last year. Rolling Stone had this to say:

Zeus be praised! Mastodon streamlined their molten thrash into a taut thwump that doesn’t pull back one bit on their natural complexity of innate weirdness.

Joing Mastodon on tour are heavy metal band Opeth, and special guests Ghost.
