Mastodon Surfing

05/27/2011
. (Gibson) Mastodon are one of the heaviest bands on the planet, but singer-guitarist Brent Hinds is going in a different direction on his upcoming solo double-disc release. Brent Hinds Presents Fiend Without a Face/West End Motel is due out on June 7.

Hinds told Rolling Stone that the first disc takes his music in a surf-rock direction, while the second deals in "boozy poetry." The albums aren't out yet, but the musician is already talking about doing more.

"We're just finishing up anotherWest End Motel album, and then when [Mastodon] get back from Europe," Hinds said, "we're going back into the studio with Fiend Without a Face, and I'm going to have Brann [Dailor, Mastodon's drummer] and Jay Weinberg, Max Weinberg's kid, play on the record � have a rotating door of drummer guests. It'll be a proggy sort of album." more on this story
