MASTODON have parted ways with longtime guitarist Brent Hinds.
Brent‘s exit from MASTODON was announced via a social media post last Friday (March 7th, 2025).
MASTODON wrote:
“Friends and Fans, After 25 monumental years together, MASTODON and Brent Hinds have mutually decided to part ways.
“We’re deeply proud of and beyond grateful for the music and history we’ve shared and we wish him nothing but success and happiness in his future endeavors.
“We are still very inspired and excited to show up for fans in this next chapter of MASTODON. As we move forward, all 2025 touring plans will remain intact. We look forward to seeing you on the road.”
MASTODON and LAMB OF GOD‘s collaborative single called “Floods Of Triton” was released in September 2024. The track, which was recorded prior to the launch of the two bands’ “Ashes Of Leviathan” summer 2024 tour, was made available via Loma Vista Recordings.

This momentous collaboration also serves as a bookend for the bands’ highly successful summer tour, a celebration of two landmark albums that charted a path that countless heavy bands have followed in the intervening years. Mastodon’s Leviathan and Lamb of God’s Ashes of the Wake not only marked critical turning points in each band’s career but also left an indelible influence on the evolution of the genre. While “Floods Of Triton” echoes the innovation and raw energy of these albums, it also speaks to their persistent hunger for creativity and evolution and marks the first step in Mastodon’s next chapter.
“Floods of Triton” is out now on Loma Vista Recordings.
“Floods Of Triton” was recorded at MASTODON‘s own West End Sound in Atlanta and was produced by MASTODON and Tyler Bates, highly regarded in his own right for his scores for “Guardians Of The Galaxy”, “John Wick”, “MaXXXine” and more.
