Kirk Hammett Announces Debut Solo EP
Kirk Hammett Announces Debut Solo EP
Metallica axeman Kirk Hammett has announced his first ever solo EP. Portals is set to arrive on April 23rd, just in time for Record Store Day 2022. In addition to playing guitar on the project, he also took on production duties.
He explains that his original idea was only to compose background music for his exhibition It's Alive! Classic Horror and Sci-Fi Art from the Kirk Hammett Collection which ran in 2019 and 2020.
"I wanted to conceive music to play on a loop in the background as people walked through the exhibit. I sat down one night with a progression, and before I knew it, all the parts were there for 'Maiden and the Monster.' The initial concept for Portals started with that one song. Following that, I realized I could create different soundtrack moments. These songs are what I call 'Audio Cinematic;' I'm creating sounds and pieces of music for the movies playing in my head. Hopefully they'll create movies in other people's heads in a similar fashion."
Contributors include Jon Theodore (Queens of the Stone Age), Abe Laboriel Jr., Greg Fidelman, Edwin Outwater, Blake Neely and Bob Rock.
