JAKARTA - Recently, Mastodon announced the departure of their guitarist, Brent Hinds. However, the heavy metal band from Atlanta, Georgia remains committed to continuing their concert schedule.

After being kept secret, they finally came up with a great guitarist. He is Ben Eller, a YouTuber known for his capable guitar playing.

Last week's Mastodon action became Ben's debut momentum with Mastodon. His presence was warmly welcomed by Metalhead, showing support for the substitute guitarist.

However, until now, Brann Dailor has not confirmed whether Ben Eller will be a permanent member of the band. But for now they feel suitable for him to appear in the next few schedules.

Ben Eller's role is deemed capable of replacing Brent Hinds well. It is evident in the song Pain with An Anchor that he shows a charming game through guitar solos to take part backing vocals that are usually done by Hinds.

Meanwhile, Mastodon's separation from Brent Hinds was surprising. After 25 years together, the guitarist finally chose to leave. However, from the band's official statement, they seem to end their cooperation as a band partner well.
