Mastodon brought their 2026 Poisonous Weapons Tour to New York City for a killer evening of metal, with support from Deafheaven and France\u2019s Alcest.<\/p>\n
New York\u2019s Brooklyn Paramount was the place to be as Mastodon sold out the evening, with lines stretching all the way down the block. The vibe was palpable. As the doors opened, the masses made their way into the majestic venue for what surely was going to be a most epic night.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Blackgaze pioneers\u00a0Alcest wasted no time at all hitting the stage at promptly 7 PM, with a considerably good attendance already on hand for an opener. The French atmospheric metal pioneers were given roughly 40 minutes, and zero time was wasted, busting straight into \u201cProtection\u201d off their sixth studio album, Spiritual Instinct, which immediately set the mood.<\/p>\n
Neige\u2019s vocals glided above the guitars, while the rhythm section gave the music its underlying weight. The band overall was super tight, and they kept the momentum in the room moving, as though it was hypnotic. They performed \u201cEcailles de lune-Part 2,\u201d which is a powerful selection that shows the band\u2019s darker side. The song\u2019s gradual build really worked well with the room becoming one with the combination of distortion and melody with Neige\u2019s distinctive style.<\/p>\n
Frontman Neige has a unique presence; he seems to have no need for constant crowd interaction or exaggerated theatrics. The band is mostly all about allowing their music to remain the primary focus. Be sure to check them out on this current tour.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n The almighty\u00a0Deafheaven from California made their way to the stage, with dark and moody lighting filling the atmosphere. Vocalist George Clarke immediately became the focal point as their riffs filled the room. Clarke commanded the stage as if it was an extension of the music itself. His movements were frantic and very unpredictable, perfectly matching Deafheaven\u2019s tendency to change between delicate and explosive aggression.<\/p>\n The interplay of the duo guitarists, Kerry McCoy and Shiv Mehra, was killer as they both brought their styles \u2013 one pushing shimmering post metal texture and the other locking down that low-end thick, like almost tectonic riffs, bringing it all together. Drummer Daniel Tracy brought the pounding precision and passion, really driving the transitions and outright sonic bombardment. Clarke\u2019s stage presence just tied everything together.\u00a0<\/p>\n The setlist consisted of only eight songs; granted, they only had 40 minutes to crush it, which they absolutely did as the floor was moving from the first to last riff. Most of the tracks were centered around their newest album, Lonely People With Power,\u00a0which were all received well. Deafheaven, overall, were super tight and kept the energy alive as the crowd had security busy retrieving the constant flow of crowd surfers. The band brings a full-frontal assault that will have you talking about them days later, so most definitely be sure to catch them. You won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n The energy of the sold-out crowd at Brooklyn Paramount was alive, and fans were more than ready as the legendary Mastodon\u00a0hit the stage, bringing a nearly two-hour set, stretching a vast selection of their catalog from classics to tracks from their newest album, Marrow Deep.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mastodon opened their set with \u201cBarbarians Blood\u201d from their newest release, which was well-received by the packed house. Troy Sanders brought a commanding presence to the stage, while Bill Kelliher and Nick Johnston crushed those heavy riffs that reverberated through the Paramount. Brann Dailor is an absolute beast on the drums and is one of the band\u2019s defining characteristics, as his complexity and style are on another level.\u00a0<\/p>\n The floor was packed, and heads were banging as Mastodon carried their set into \u201cPoisonous Weapons,\u201d the title song of their tour. It turned the Paramount into a sea of movement, front-to-back and side-to-side. At this point, Sanders brought out special guest guitarist John Baizley, frontman of Baroness, for the final stretch of the evening, launching into \u201cSnakes for Dinner.\u201d His additional presence added a whole other level to an already massive sound. During \u201cSultan\u2019s Curse,\u201d the larger-than-life Cysquatch made an appearance, towering over the band as the ominous and massive riffing fit perfectly into the closing portion of the night. They closed out the night with \u201cBlood and Thunder.\u201d From the opening riff, the place erupted with peak energy, with the crowd singing along and Baizley\u2019s presence making the finale even more memorable.\u00a0<\/p>\n Don\u2019t sleep on this current Mastodon tour as they bring the fire, especially with openers such as Deafheaven and Alcest.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n MASTODON DEAFHEAVEN ALCEST BROOKLYN PARAMOUNT![\"Alcest](\"https:\/\/www.loudhailermagazine.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/alcest-brooklynparamount-brooklyn-ny-20260924-richzoeller\/Alcest-Mastodon-BrooklynParamount-Brooklyn-NY-20260924-RichZoeller-004.jpg\" "\\"Alcest")
