Metallica fans get ready; Kirk Hammett’s first-ever solo EP, Portals, is scheduled to arrive on April 23rd via Blackened Recordings. Today (15th), the guitarist and horror enthusiast has unveiled the first taste with the instrumental track “High Plains Drifter,” and it’s everything you’d expect from him, if not more. His love for horror shines in this eerie four-minute forty-five-second musical haunting.
