Brent Hindes, Mastodon guitarist, Atlanta dies 51 in motorcycle accident
Brenta Hinds, co-founder of Grammy-winning band Mastodon, died at the age of 51 in the Atlanta motorcycle accident. The world of music expresses its creative effects and find without a face with upcoming projects.
Brent Hindus, co-founder and Grammy-enthusiasts died in a motorcycle accident in Atlanta, former guitarist of Mastodon. He was 51 years old.
The accident occurred late on Wednesday when the BMW SUV suddenly changed in front of Hinds Harley-Davidson. Police said he was found to be unlikely at the scene.
Mastodon shared his grief on social media. The band said, “We are trying to process the loss of this creative force, with which we have tried to share a lot of victory, milestones and music.”
Mastodon had increased three albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart and two in 2017 which topped the Rock Album Chart – “Emperor of Sand” and in 2014 “Once More ‘were at the top of’ Round the Sun”.
Hinds co-established Mastodon in 2000 with Basist Troy Sanders, Guitarist Bill Kelieher and drummer Bran Deller. Mastodon’s third studio album, the “blood mountain” of 2006, was his first to reach the top 40, which reached number 32 at Billboard 200.
As reported by the Associated Press, Mastodon received a grammy for the best metal performance for “Sultan’s curse” in 2017, which is included in the emperor of the sand. Rolling Stone also noted its 2011 album The Hunter as one of the best years of the year, which praises its groundbreaking sound.
Later in March 2025, Hindes left Mastodon. The band issued a statement saying, “We are grateful to music and history and are grateful to the history shared by us, and we do not want anything other than success and happiness in their future efforts.”
Apart from Mastodon, Hinds were also working on various side projects. He visited Europe with a band without a face at the end of this year. His sudden death abandoned the loss of a unique voice in the fans and the world of music in the metal.
