Kirk Hammett julkaisi tuoreen EP:nsä kunniaksi animoidun videon

Yhdysvaltalaisen thrash metal -jätti Metallican kitaristi Kirk Hammett julkaisi instrumentaalisen ”Portals” -EP:nsä lauantaina, ja nyt sen ”High Plains Drifter” -kappaleesta on katsottavissa animoitu video. Muusikko ei tietoisesti hakenut kappaleeseen vaikutteita Clint Eastwoodin samannimisestä elokuvasta, mutta Hammett kertoi, että kirjoitettuaan musiikin hän tajusi siinä olevan samaa tunnetta ja lopulta nimesi biisin elokuvan mukaan.

Hammett kommentoi tuoretta julkaisuaan:

“This music was created with what I describe as an Audio-Cinematic approach. They’re soundtracks to the movies in your mind.”

”The music for ‘High Plains Drifter’ initially came from a Flamenco piece I had written. It was a two-and-a-half-minute piece, and I really liked it, but it was one of those riffs that would be hard to integrate into Metallica. I knew I wanted to do something with it, even though it came out spontaneously. I had been sitting outside messing around with a Flamenco acoustic guitar I’d just bought, and it flowed out in the moment. I was determined it would have a life. It would have its moment.”
