Co-founding Mastodon guitarist and vocalist Brent Hinds has passed away at 51 years old. He died in a motorcycle crash in Atlanta on Wednesday night (8/20), Atlanta News First reports, and the Fulton County medical examiner's office confirms. The crash was first reported on that night, with Hinds' identity given this afternoon. Police said that Hinds' motorcycle, a Harley-Davidson, collided with an SUV that didn't yield while making a turn at Memorial Drive and Boulevard in southeast Atlanta.
He was unresponsive when police arrived on scene shortly after 11:35 PM, and was pronounced dead by medical officials. Hinds had been injured in motorcycle accidents before, including a broken leg in 2016 and a 2018 incident that kept him from attending the Grammys. Mastodon parted ways with Hinds, who spent 25 years in the band, in March. His other projects include Fiend Without A Face, West End Motel, Dirty B & The Boys, and pre-Mastodon band Four Hour Fogger (with future bandmate Troy Sanders).
