Mastodon and its guitarist and co -founder, Brent Hinds – First on the left in the photograph – they announced last Friday through a statement their separation by mutual agreement. But the group already has a substitute, at least temporary.
The group Mastodonfounded in 2000 by the own Hindsnext to the bassist Troy Sandersthe battery Brann Dailor and the guitarist Bill KelliherHe said Hinds leaves the band in a friendly way. Among them they have thanked all these years together since they began their career with “Remision” In 2002, they have also obtained six Grammys nominations, winning one of them in 2018 to the best metal interpretation category.
This Sunday the group faced its first concert without Hindsat the Tool Live in the Sand Festival at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), and all the spotlights were placed on them to see who the substitute was after having such little room for maneuver.
The surprise was that the substitute was the youtuber and musician Ben Ellerknown on the platform for your series “This is why you suc as guitar”. Anyway and at the moment it is unknown if it will be the Hinds substitute definitively or if it only covered the decline temporarily.
