Mastodon @ Concord Pavilion

I’ve been to a fair number of shows in 2025, but sadly only one or two that were metal. Today’s photo comes from 2023, when Brent Hinds was still alive, and just a day after I saw him enjoying a cold one at the Black Sheep in Ashland (which is also no longer with us).

Nicolaj Ju of Grusom @ High Voltage (RIP) – June 2021

When I last posted a Grusom photo (a little over three years ago), they had broken up, but I expressed hope that they would get the band back together someday. Well, today is that day as Grusom just released their third album.
