Amerikanske Mastodon har haft samme lineup siden 2000, men her efter et kvart århundrede lader det til at det lineup ikke kunne holde i længden.
Bandet har via deres sociale medier meddelt at guitarist Brent Hinds forlader bandet med øjeblikkelig virkning, og at det sker i overenstemmelse mellem alle bandmedllemer. Men derudover gives der ellers ingen grund til bruddet.
Bandet skriver:
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.
