On March 7, Mastodon announced that Hinds, 51, had parted ways with the band after 25 years. At the time it was reported to have been a mutual agreement but in the months since, Hinds had revealed a level of bad blood between himself and the band with a series of personal attacks on them.
Along with all of Mastodon’s releases, Hinds also recorded an album with the supergroup Giraffe Tongue Orchestra in 2016.
