Mastodon, Deafheaven, and Alcest Deliver Heavy Brooklyn Triple Bill

Mastodon’s Poisonous Weapons Tour rolled into the Brooklyn Paramount in Brooklyn, New York, on a recent Thursday night, delivering a triple bill with Deafheaven and Alcest. The package is pitched as a must-see for metal fans, with Baroness frontman John Baizley joining Mastodon for several songs toward the end of the set.

Alcest opened the evening at 7 p.m. sharp, performing a five-song set that showcased their beauty- and heaviness-forward approach to blackgaze. Founding member Neige shared lead vocals with touring member Zero during the performance.

Deafheaven then took the stage at 8 p.m., with frontman George Clarke delivering intense, high-energy delivery as he moved across the stage. The set drew largely from Lonely People with Power, punctuated by the sunshower-like crescendo of the classic “Dream House,” and closed with “Winona.”

Around 8:57 p.m., Mastodon appeared as a video-backed spectacle that the review notes as a standout feature of the show, with visuals that accompany each song. The band opened with “Barbarians Blood” from their new Marrow Deep, followed by a mix of tracks that highlighted their live dynamic and newer material.

John Baizley joined for the closing stretch of the set, contributing vocals and guitar on “Snakes for Dinner” and then staying through several subsequent songs, including “Curl of the Burl,” “Oblivion,” “The Czar,” “Colony of Birchmen,” and the finale “Blood and Thunder.” The combination of Mastodon’s heft and Baizley’s presence added extra muscle to the performance, according to the coverage.

Overall, the night was described as a powerful, thoroughly engaging experience for metal fans, with three acclaimed acts delivering a cohesive, high-energy showcase.
