Metallica is one of the busiest bands in the world and even the pandemic hasn’t stopped them from working feverishly. While the band has been working on new music over the past several months, guitarist Kirk Hammett, a known horror movie enthusiast, has been writing and recording his own solo project.
Loudwire caught wind of an interview with Hammett in Metallica’s fan club magazine “So What!” in which the guitarist revealed that he has been collaborating with Edwin Outwater, who composed the S&M2 live performance, on some horror-themed instrumental songs.
“I recorded those tracks with Edwin, a small chamber orchestra and some other musicians,” Hammett reveals, adding that there are four total tracks, two of which were in collaboration with Outwater. Hammett had particularly strong thoughts about these pieces, notes the site, adding that Hammet exclaimed that they “feel like the best fucking things I’ve ever done.”
“One of them is called ‘High Plains Drifter’ and the other one’s called ‘The Incantation’. They’re not done yet. [They are] still in the rough mix stages,” he added. “I mean, I have to get the rough mixes, but I have four tracks now. And the four tracks are like four different movies, man. They’re not movie soundtracks; they’re like movies. They tell a story.”
Watch for more news as it comes in but with Halloween just a few weeks away, is there a world in which Hammett surprises us all with a taste of his horror-themed music before November?
