Mastodon is honoring the memory of their late bandmate and co-founder Brent Hinds. On Friday (Aug. 22), the heavy metal band paid tribute to the guitarist during a performance at the Alaska State Fair, part of the ConocoPhillips Alaska Concert Series at the Borealis Theatre in Palmer, Alaska.

"We are heartbroken, shocked and still trying to process the loss of this creative force," the band said in a statement.
