Back in March the Atlanta metal band Mastodon announced that longtime lead guitarist and vocalist Brent Hinds was leaving the band. The split initially seemed amicable, with the remaining band members writing that it was a mutual decision. Hinds, however, raised eyebrows a couple of months later when he wrote that he “[won’t] miss being in a shit band with horrible humans” in a reply to a fan’s Instagram comment. Now, Hinds is doubling down on that animosity, claiming that he was kicked out of Mastodon.
