Mastodon Members Reflect on Brent Hinds' Struggles and Departure in Candid New Video

Nearly a year after Brent Hinds' death in a motorcycle accident, the three remaining founding members of Mastodon — Troy Sanders, Bill Kelliher, and Brann Dailor — released a 36-minute video titled 'The Mastodon in the Room' reflecting on their complicated history with the late guitarist. The video addresses Hinds' struggles, his departure from the band (which he later said was a firing), and the emotional toll of their relationship, with members candidly admitting they were 'exhausted' by the dynamic.
