Mastodon Reflects on Brent Hinds | Rock Music News

Mastodon releases a raw, emotional 35-minute video reflecting on their 25-year journey with Brent Hinds, who left the band in March 2025 and tragically died in a motorcycle crash five months later. The band honors him with a heartfelt message to fans, thanking them for their unwavering support. The accident report reveals Brent was traveling over 60 mph — double the speed limit — and deemed at fault.

Now, Mastodon has brought in touring guitarist Nick Johnston for their upcoming album and released a new song, “Your Ghost Again,” as a tribute. They close by celebrating an unforgettable European tour and thanking fans for rocking with them. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
