After receiving a Best New Music delegation for their supremely heavy new album Blood Mountain, Mastodon are ready to take on the world, or at least the Europe. Come November, Mastodon will head to the Continent for a trek opening for Tool. It ends December 16 at Athens' Olympic Fencing Hall.

Death to false metal... by fencing!

Before the European tour kicks off, Mastodon have a few dates scheduled in the U.S. and Japan, including a show tonight in Dallas. And on November 1, the band will appear on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien". It will be their first appearance on national television.

We hope the Cysquatch plays piano with them. He's probably just as good as Andrew WK.
