Mastodon members ask court to dismiss parts of Brent Hinds estate lawsuit

Mastodon's surviving members asked an Atlanta judge on 2 November to dismiss breach of fiduciary duty and conversion claims in the estate's suit. The estate of guitarist Brent Hinds, who died in August 2025, seeks to cash out his 25% stake in the band's operations, arguing an $80,000 post-death payment was too low. The court has not ruled.
