The man behind the Banker Handcrafted Guitars company confirmed that Brent Hinds played a guitar solo that he never took credit for.
Some photos of him in the studio laying down the apparent 278 takes for the solo are also available.
Custom instrument makers Banker Guitars have revealed that Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds appears on country rocker Marcus King’s recent No Room For Blue Record Store Day release, delivering one of his last ever on-record guitar solos for the album’s closing “Red Door.” A new post from the company, who had worked with Hinds in the past, explain that the recent vinyl collection — issued last November for RSD, though a digital version was bundled together with 2025’s Darling Blue on May 1st — closes with a memorable guest spot from the former Mastodon member, who was a friend of King’s. Since the solo flew under the radar for many, the guitarmakers wanted to set the record straight and shine a light on Hinds’ playing. “For those who may not know, this song you are listening to has one of the last guitar solos Brent Hinds recorded,” Banker Guitars wrote yesterday (May 19th) in a socials post that included various studio pics and shots of Hinds holding his Banker custom. “He slept on the living room couch for a week (or two, whose counting) with The Marcus King Band at the house they rented down in Macon, Georgia, while they were writing and recording their latest record, Darlin’ Blue at the legendary Capricorn Studios. “‘Red Door’ was one that Brent collaborated on and performed on. Ever the stubborn perfectionist, he managed to do 278 takes before landing on the one he liked best.” You’ll find the rip-roarin’ “Red Door” solo in the player up above. This was not the first time Hinds and King linked up. The pair jammed on Black Sabbath’s “Electric Funeral” during a 2020 livestream. King was one of many who shared a tribute to his friends last year, after Hinds passed away in a motorcycle accident. View this post on Instagram
Provocative Norwegian black-metal trio Witch Club Satan are set to kick off their first-ever North America tour next week, and ahead of the trek, the group — which has a predilection for nudity, blood, rituals and in-your-face feminist statements — have unleashed a new single, The Kids Will Kill Us. Hope is a kind of curse. You can never rest, the band commented succinctly of the song, which, like the rest of their catalog, pulls no punches in its critique of a world that they see going off the rails. You can blast the song and watch its striking music video — directed by Stian Andersen and Witch Club Satan — above via YouTube. Of the imminent tour, the band commented: We feel like it s the right time to head overseas and provide some much needed witchcraft. Through social media, we have been invited by countless fans, asking us to come to the United States. Being welcomed is a big deal to us — and our main reason to travel is to give an invitation in return. In times of division and chaos, we hope to offer a shelter and community within our coven. We are preparing for a powerful ritual.
