Mastodon took the stage as Special Guests to headliners Gojira at Bloodstock Open Air Metal Festival 2025, delivering a full set of crushing Progressive Sludge Metal on one of the UK’s most iconic festival stages. Filmed on August 10th 2025 at Catton Park, Derbyshire, England, this video features one of the band’s most legendary tracks: “Blood and Thunder” which originally appeared on their 2004 album “Leviathan.”

Known for its thunderous riffs, maritime mythos, and explosive shout-along chorus, “Blood and Thunder” has become one of Mastodon’s most enduring and instantly recognizable songs and remains a defining anthem in Modern Metal. Their Bloodstock performance captured the band in full form, showcasing over two decades of Experimental heaviness and masterful musicianship.
