EXODUS Guitarist GARY HOLT: How I First Met KIRK HAMMETT
In a recent interview with RadioactiveMike Z, host of the 96.7 KCAL-FM radio program “Wired In The Empire”, EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt was asked how he first met original EXODUS guitarist Kirk Hammett, who has been a member of METALLICA for the past 39 years. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “The first time I met Kirk was in my high school music room, Richmond High, and EXODUS came and played. [Original EXODUS drummer] Tom Hunting grew up, like, 50 yards from my house, across from a park, but he went to a different school — he went to De Anza High, where Kirk did. I knew Tom, I’d see him around, but I didn’t know him that well. But I was really good friends with the other guitar player in EXODUS, Tim Agnello, who I did know. And they came in and p...

JOAKIM BRODÉN Explains Why SABATON Is A Self-Managed Band
During an appearance on “The Back Lounge” podcast, vocalist Joakim Brodén of Swedish metallers SABATON spoke about why he and his bandmates continue to exist as a self-managed entity — a rarity among groups operating at their level. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “We tried twice to involve people for very short amounts of time, but it never worked out, really. In the beginning, it’s not by choice; it’s by necessity. We wanted a manager who had some connections who could get us where we wanted to be faster, I guess, back in the days. But right now, no, we’re happy where we are. Nobody’s gonna care as much about SABATON as we are gonna do. But it would be unfair to say that it’s only us in the band doing it. We sort of built an o...

Hardwell Unleashes First Two Singles From Forthcoming Album, “REBELS NEVER DIE”
After an explosive return to the stage following a four-year hiatus, Hardwell is wasting no time introducing us to his next artistic chapter.

During COVID I made zero club music because it felt weird to make festival music when the...
