About

GRAMMY® Award-nominated metal titans Lamb of God and GRAMMY® Award-winning band Mastodon announce the co-headlining Ashes Of Leviathan Tour. The tour finds the two iconic bands join forces to celebrate the 20th anniversary of two seminal releases: Lamb of God’s biggest-selling album “Ashes of the Wake” and Mastodon’s acclaimed sophomore album “Leviathan”, which were both released on August 31, 2004. Both bands will perform their respective albums in full.

Nobody has waved the flag for 21st century American heavy metal higher or harder than Lamb Of God. The Richmond, Virginia-based band have quietly emerged as the genre’s foremost torchbearers with a feral intensity brewed at grimy basement shows and uncanny power amplified on some of the world’s biggest stages. Along the way, they have garnered five career GRAMMY®Award nominations, sold over three million albums worldwide, packed arenas around the world and tallied over one billion streams and counting—a true rarity for a group this heavy. Following the world-burning “New American Gospel” in 2000, they delivered a classic in the form of 2003’s “As the Palaces Burn”, which Rolling Stone touted as one of “The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time.” They served up back-to-back gold-certified records with “Ashes of the Wake [2004] and “Sacrament” [2005]—christened “Album of the Year” by Revolver. “Wrath” [2009] catapulted to #2 on the Billboard 200 followed by consecutive Top 3 entries “Resolution” [2012] and “VII: Sturm und Drang” [2015]. Metallica handpicked them as direct support on various tours, while they’ve welcomed everyone from Chino Moreno of Deftones to Chuck Billy of Testament to appear on tracks. Following 2020’s unanimously acclaimed “Lamb of God”, the 2022 blockbuster “Omens” arrived as their sixth consecutive Top 15 debut on the Billboard 200, 1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart, #3 on the Top Album Sales Chart, #3 on the Top Rock Albums Chart, and #5 on the Top Vinyl Albums. Lamb of God’s most recent studio offering, 2022’s Omens, notably marked the band’s sixth consecutive Top 15 debut on the Billboard 200 in addition to capturing #1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart, #3 on the Top Album Sales Chart, #3 on the Top Rock Albums Chart, and #5 on the Top Vinyl Albums Chart. Not to mention, it has amassed an unprecedented 60 million streams and counting.

GRAMMY® Award-winning band Mastodon have quietly evolved into one of the most influential, inimitable, and iconic rock bands of the modern era. Since emerging in 2000, the Atlanta quartet have defied both sonic and thematic boundaries with an uncategorizable, undeniable, and uncompromising vision unlike anything else in music. This vision manifested over the course of canonical albums such as “Leviathan”, which landed on Rolling Stone’s coveted The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time. Following the seminal “Crack The Skye” [named one of the best albums of 2009 by Time], they earned three consecutive Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 with “The Hunter” [2011], “Once More ‘Round the Sun” [2014] and “Emperor of Sand” [2017]. Out of six career nominations, they received a GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Metal Performance” for “Sultan’s Curse”. They are the rare creative force whose music can be felt everywhere from Game of Thrones, Adult Swim, The History Channel and DC comics films to Coachella and Bonnaroo. Mastodon’s latest studio album, “Hushed and Grim”.
