mastodon / gojira / kvelertak show[views:3319][posts:10]____________________________________ [May 17,2014 11:23am - mrrwosis ""] I went to this show at the palladium last night. That was probably the dumbest possible way for me to see Kvelertak but I hadn't seen them since they headlined at Great Scott a couple years ago so attendance was mandatory for me. It was hard to achieve full headbanging catharsis while surrounded by mostly disinterested bloated Mastodon fans (who can blame them for wanting to reserve their spots on the floor for the main event) but Kvelertak were great and I had a blast. Set was about half Meir and half debut album. Over the past few weeks I tried to acquaint myself with Gojira's material so that I might wring a little more enjoyment out of this show; i listened mostly to l'enfant sauvage (the second half of which I thoroughly enjoy). After pumping the venue full of smoke Gojira took the stage and their fans on the floor went crazy through their entire set. I bought a $30 tshirt O_O and left before Mastodon's set while fans were still filing in to the venue (not sure if it sold out but it was pretty packed). |

I have little interest in Mastodon after Leviathan, and I've read mixed reports about how good they are live. I missed a good chance to see them in a small club right after Leviathan came out. Since then, I can't muster much enthusiasm. |

| _____________________________________ [May 19,2014 10:53am - i_am_lazy ""] Mastodon sounded pretty damn good...they just picked a boring-ass setlist (Boring enough that I walked out 1/3 of the way through...well, that, and it was too damn hot and crowded in there) Gojira was awesome as always, and Kvelertak was impressive, if a few of their songs seemed a bit overly repetitive. I like the 3-guitar thing they have going on. |
