At the end of Charli XCX’s Coachella set last year, the screen behind her flashed a bunch of possible alternatives for the bygone Brat Summer. One of them was Cronenberg Summer, a fun thing to even think about. How would an entire summer dedicated to Canadian horror movie legend David Cronenberg look? Melted globs of flesh steaming on every sidewalk? Grotesque plastic surgery disasters partying in every club? Constant reminders of the fragility of human physiology? Wait! Is Cronenberg Summer happening right now? It might be, since Cronenberg is the only featured guest on the new Charli XCX album.

A new Brent Hinds memorial has appeared at the exact Atlanta intersection where the former Mastodon guitarist lost his life last year, and the band itself is making sure fans see it. The tribute has cropped up at the corner of Memorial Drive and Boulevard SE, the site of Hinds’ fatal motorcycle accident on August 20, 2025. Mastodon shared footage of the display on the band’s social media, though the memorial does not appear to be an official installation.

STREAM THE METAL BREAKDOWN DAILY NOW:

Scott Penfold reflects on the new Brent Hinds memorial on today’s Metal Breakdown Daily — on why a community-built tribute like this one hits differently than an official statement, and what it says about Hinds’ legacy that fans are still marking this corner of Atlanta a year later. Download the free Loaded Radio App on Apple iOS and Google Play to stream the full breakdown.

What The Memorial Actually Looks Like

The tribute features several images celebrating Hinds’ life and legacy, installed at the intersection where he died. Alongside the photos, the memorial carries a road-safety message, urging drivers to “Look Twice” before crossing — a direct nod to the kind of awareness that could prevent another tragedy at the same corner. It’s a tribute that doubles as a public safety reminder, which feels fitting for a corner that’s now permanently tied to his memory.

What Happened At That Intersection

Hinds died on the night of August 20, 2025, when his Harley-Davidson collided with a BMW SUV at Memorial Drive and Boulevard SE. A subsequent police investigation determined Hinds was traveling between 63 and 68 mph — roughly twice the posted speed limit — and concluded he was at fault for the crash, based on intersection video and witness accounts. The report also noted some conflicting statements about whether the SUV driver had a green light when she turned left into Hinds’ path. He was 51.

A Complicated Goodbye, A Genuine Tribute

Hinds’ relationship with Mastodon in his final months wasn’t a simple one. He and the band parted ways in March 2025, five months before his death, following a split that grew increasingly public and, at times, contentious. None of that has stopped his former bandmates or the wider fan community from honoring him since. Drummer Brann Dailor delivered an emotional on-stage tribute at the band’s first show after Hinds’ passing, and guitarist Bill Kelliher publicly reflected on their 25-year history together, complications and all. This new memorial reads as the latest chapter of that same ongoing tribute — proof that the complicated ending didn’t erase the impact.

Hinds’ Legacy Continues To Surface

Hinds co-founded Mastodon in 2000 and spent 25 years shaping the band’s genre-bending sound across albums like “Leviathan,” “Crack the Skye,” and the Grammy-winning “Emperor of Sand.” His influence hasn’t stopped showing up since his passing, either — drummer Duane Trucks of Hinds’ side project Fiend Without A Face recently revealed an entire unreleased solo album exists, and Mastodon themselves have confirmed their upcoming ninth studio album, while featuring zero contributions from Hinds, was shaped in part by the weight of losing him mid-process.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FLIGHT OF ODIN UNLEASHES HAUNTING DOUBLE ALBUM “I TRAVELED THE CROOKED PATH” OUT NOW
Washington D.C. Area Female-Fronted Doom Metal Visionaries Deliver Their Most Ambitious and Theatrical Release Yet
Washington D.C. area doom metal visionaries Flight of Odin have officially released their most expansive and captivating work to date, the double album “I Traveled the Crooked Path,” available now via the band’s independent imprint, Riding the Dragonfly LTD.
Blending melodic doom metal, psychedelic atmospheres, classical influences, and progressive rock sensibilities, Flight of Odin has created a sound that defies easy categorization. Their latest offering takes listeners on a journey through shadowed corridors of emotion, myth, introspection, and transcendence, showcasing a band that continues to evolve while remaining true to its distinctive artistic vision.
Founded in 2015 by vocalist and songwriter Xyra, bassist/keyboardist and executive producer Andrew Cann, drummer Kenny Finger, and guitarist Mike Karagiannis, Flight of Odin has steadily built an impressive catalog that includes The Only Door, Goddess in Smoke, Tattered Cloaks of Madness, Seance of Hecate, and now their most ambitious release yet, I Traveled the Crooked Path.
The album marks a significant new chapter for the band with the addition of guitar prodigy Tyler Beddow, whose expressive and technically dazzling performances bring fresh energy to Flight of Odin’s already immersive soundscape.
“Flight of Odin’s new 2-disc album release, ‘I Traveled the Crooked Path’ can be hauntingly eerie, yet stunning and almost theatrical in delivery,” states one early review. “The lead guitar work of Tyler Beddow carries us deep within dark labyrinths and then soars us sonically upward between eagles and lightning.”
Among the album’s highlights are the instrumental compositions “Andromeda,” penned by Beddow, and “Obsidian Cove,” composed by Andrew Cann. These atmospheric pieces further demonstrate the band’s commitment to musical exploration beyond conventional genre boundaries.
At the heart of the album stands the commanding presence of Xyra, whose four-octave vocal range and evocative storytelling guide listeners through richly imagined lyrical landscapes. Supported by Finger’s dynamic percussion, Cann’s melodic bass work and classical piano flourishes, and Beddow’s soaring guitar performances, the album creates an immersive experience that is both emotionally resonant and sonically adventurous.
Disc Two of the collection offers an added treasure for longtime followers, featuring three remastered tracks from the acclaimed Goddess in Smoke EP . These recordings showcase former collaborators Andy Paul, Dan Kolcun, and Chelle Fulk alongside Flight of Odin’s core members.
The band’s influences span an extraordinary spectrum, drawing inspiration from Chopin, Nico, The Velvet Underground, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Tool, and countless other artistic touchstones. The result is a sound that has inspired colorful descriptions from fans and critics alike.
One fan famously described Flight of Odin as:
“Heart meets Black Sabbath on the one hand, and Dead Can Dance meets The Doors on the other, cliffhanging with Pink Floyd and the mystical side of Led Zeppelin.”
A reviewer from Stargazer Magazine echoed similar praise:
“There is nothing quite like this anywhere.”
With “I Traveled the Crooked Path,” Flight of Odin continues to push creative boundaries while delivering music that is powerful, mysterious, emotionally charged, and unmistakably their own.
