Tomorrow night (April 4), Mastodon will be kicking off their tour with Opeth and Ghost in Portland, Maine. So what better way to prepare ourselves for the tour than with some pro-shot footage of Mastodon killing it live?

The band has just posted video of them performing “Dry Bone Valley” at London’s Brixton Academy back in February (the band’s biggest UK headlining show to date).The pro-shot footage is proof of what most fans already know: that Mastodon are a killer live act. Watch Mastodon performing “Dry Bone Valley” live for yourself in the video above, and tell us we’re wrong.

Tour dates, set times and band orders after the jump, but really, if you skip Ghost, you’re doing it wrong.
