Mastodon and Dethklok announce Chicago date
Atlanta's kings of epic metal Mastodon have announced a tour that brings them to the Aragon on Oct. 17, with a somewhat unusual opening act in tow: Dethklok, the cartoon stars of the Adult Swim show Metalocalypse. The fictitious band is touring in support of its upcoming The Dethalbum II, due out on Sept. 8.

Tickets are on sale Friday ($31.75), so for now get pumped (for the human side of things) with Mastodon's "Oblivion":
