As part of their summer 2018 tour, Primus and Mastodon took over the Greek Theatre on Thursday, July 5, for a night of Vikings and goblins.

Primus, who recently released their ninth studio album, Desaturating Seven, have garnered a massive following. Primus feature legendary bassist/vocalist Les Claypool along with Larry LaLonde on guitar and Tim Alexander on drums. Fun fact: Primus are behind the theme song for South Park.

Grammy-winning metal band Mastodon opened the night with a wild performance, inspiring headbanging and general insanity across the Greek. The band features Troy Sanders (bass/vocals), Brent Hinds (guitar/vocals), Bill Kelliher (guitar) and Brann Dailor on drums.
