Despite reportedly receiving an $80,000 check he declined to cash, the estate claims the band violated his rights. Mastodon calls the suit “meritless,” vows to defend themselves vigorously, and says they won’t comment further to honor Brent’s memory. The legal drama unfolds amid the emotional release of their first album since his tragic passing in August 2024, with unresolved financial agreements adding layers to the controversy.
