Mastodon on Bruce Dickinsons Rock Show
Iron Maiden front-man Bruce’s special guests on Saturday 16th December are grindcore gods Mastodon. Listen to Bruce’s weekly BBC 6 Music rock show live via the internet between 9:00pm to Midnight UK Time (between 3:00pm and 6:00pm EST) (plus online or on DAB) http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/bruce_dickinson.With more than 65,000 copies sold in the U.S. of their latest album Blood Mountain, Mastodon have earned a Grammy Award nomination for their single "Colony Of Birchmen" in the "Best Metal Performance" category. The 49th annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 11th @ 8pm EST. No wonder Blender Magazine has hailed the band as "Kings of metal"!
Blood Mountain was released on September 12th, 2006, and debuted at Number 32 on Billboard's Top 200 chart. It remained at Number 1 on Billboard's Hard Music Chart for 4 weeks. The group, who are currently on tour with Tool, will finish up later this month and roll out again in 2007 for a headlining tour beginning in January.
Don’t forget the show is available all week via the Radio Player / Listen Again feature on the 6Music webpage, so no matter what you're doing Saturday you'll still be able to hear the guys rockin' on for a whole 7 days! Check it out! http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/bruce_dickinson.
