Late former Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds recorded an unreleased solo album before his death, according to his former bandmate Duane Trucks.

Trucks, who played in the band Fiend Without a Face with Hinds, tells Metal Hammer, “Brent’s got an entire album that hasn’t seen the light of day.”

“He sent me the whole album of tunes and it’s cool as s***,” Trucks says.

Hinds, a founding member of Mastodon, parted ways with the group in March. He died at age 51 in a motorcycle accident that occurred in August.

“You rarely meet someone with so many facets who does things in such an honest, vulnerable way,” Trucks says of Hinds. “He really f****** meant what he was playing. It was not a put-on. He wasn’t just doing this for a cheque.”
