Brent Hinds recorded ‘entire album that hasn’t seen the light of day,’ says former bandmate

Late former Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds recorded an unreleased solo album before his death, according to his former bandmate Duane Trucks.

Trucks, who played in the band Fiend Without a Face with Hinds, tells Metal Hammer, “Brent’s got an entire album that hasn’t seen the light of day.”

“He sent me the whole album of tunes and it’s cool as s***,” Trucks says.

Hinds, a founding member of Mastodon, parted ways with the group in March. He died at age 51 in a motorcycle accident that occurred in August.

“You rarely meet someone with so many facets who does things in such an honest, vulnerable way,” Trucks says of Hinds. “He really f****** meant what he was playing. It was not a put-on. He wasn’t just doing this for a cheque.”
