Overview

• Brent Hinds claimed in Instagram comments that Mastodon expelled him and accused Troy Sanders and Brann Dailor of singing out of key and relying on studio autotune
• He labeled his former bandmates as self-absorbed and “disgusting,” asserting they ousted him for embarrassing them by being his true self
• Mastodon members have avoided direct public rebuttals but drummer Brann Dailor subtly responded by resharing a fan video captioned “Sounds in key to me”
• Since the March split, Mastodon has continued touring and recording without Hinds, first using Ben Eller as a fill-in guitarist and later bringing in Nick Johnston
• Outlets reporting on Hinds’ tirade noted that some screenshots and comments have not been independently verified, leaving parts of the feud still subject to confirmation
