“We are in a state of unfathomable sadness and grief… last night Brent Hinds passed away as a result of a tragic accident,” shared Mastodon. “We are heartbroken, shocked, and still trying to process the loss of this creative force with whom we’ve shared so many triumphs, milestones, and the creation of music that has touched the hearts of so many. Our hearts are with Brent’s family, friends, and fans. At this time, we please ask that you respect everyone’s privacy during this difficult time. RIP Brent.”
Mastodon – who won a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2018 for its “Emperor Of Sand” track, “Sultan’s Curse” – has issued eight studio albums to date; their latest is 2021’s “Hushed And Grim.”
The group’s most recent release is the standalone 2024 single, “Floods Of Triton”, a collaboration with Lamb Of God.
In March, Mastodon revealed that the band and Hinds had "mutually decided to part ways" after "25 monumental years together."
