CKY Release ‘Beware of the Heartless’ Featuring Late Brent Hinds Guitar Solo

CKY Release ‘Beware of the Heartless’ Featuring Late Brent Hinds Guitar Solo

THE DROP

CKY have released "Beware of the Heartless," a track carrying a guitar solo Brent Hinds recorded before his death *. It hit streaming August 14, 2026, days before the one-year mark of Hinds dying in an Atlanta motorcycle crash on August 20 .

WHAT TO KNOW

  • Second CKY song with Hinds on it — he also soloed on "Days Of Self Destruction" from 2017's "The Phoenix" .
  • The recording sat unreleased on frontman Chad Ginsburg's computer until the anniversary pushed him to put it out .
  • Ginsburg: "Brent played a solo on a song we recorded called 'Beware Of The Heartless', and I thought, 'Why would I leave this on my computer?'"
  • Hinds' band Fiend Without a Face was about two months from opening CKY's European/U.K. run when he died .
  • Follows 2025 single "Can't Stop Running"; CKY tour the U.S. Sept. 9 through Nov. 8, including Aftershock on Oct. 1 .

THE TAKE

The cynical read on posthumous guest spots is that they're marketing, but Ginsburg's explanation — he was too gutted at the time to think about it, and now he'd rather hand it over than sit on it — reads like a friend, not a label . The detail that sticks: the tour Hinds never got to play was already booked when he died .
