El Perro Del Mar's real name always makes me laugh because part of me will always be 12.

That should be a good, very Swedish show, though.

Mastodon/Dethklok/Converge/High on Fire

Patriot Center
Mastodon and Dettklok can headline a show at Patriot Center? What year is it? How long have I been asleep?

wake up to other music around you, and maybe you would understand.
It threw me off, too.

HoF and Converge aren't exactly big names, either.

It has nothing to do with my opinion of the bands, moreso my perception of how large a draw those bands are. I wasn't aware Mastodon (who presumably is headlining) could sell out 9:30 Club consistantly, much less come close to filling Patriot Center.

Apparently Dethklok is the main headliner.  It's a half house show so that drastically reduces the number of people.  They probably wanted a big pit in the front and 9:30 is too small, and it's not possible at DAR so this is what happened by Default.
Dethklok headlining over any of the other  three is sad.

they have four albums, the last debuted at number eleven, sold almost fifty thousand the first week and almost two hundred thousand so far, headlined a festival in feb., played four other festivals (including bonnaroo and pitchfork) have songs on rock band 2 and guitar hero 3, opened for metallica for part of the death magnetic tour, have a cult like exploding into mainstay status following, four star reviews in rolling stone, countless interviews/covers of many magazines, rule the "new wave metal scene", performed on letterman, conan, mtv music awards, nominated for a grammy, and so on.  i guess the black cat was booked that day.

sad indeed.
Seriously.  I've always missed Mastodon when they play, but High on Fire is no joke either.

Dethklok does already have a huge built in fan base thanks to their cartoon.  That in itself should be enough to fill part of the Patriot Center.  Mastodon and the rest is just icing on the cake to get the metal heads to actually buy tickets and drive out.

Although I doubt Slum Village will play since Baatin died over the weekend.
Sounds like he was dealing with some tough mental problems. RIP.
