IronBrood The arrangement, tones, and movement of the song make me feel the story of the title. It makes me want to go and create more instrumental music. I can totally see this as soundtrack to a movie. It’s an amazing song. Favorite track: Maiden and the Monster.

szymmirr Kirk when it's time to write a single Hardwired riff: 🤢

Kirk when it's time to piss off Hetfield (start a solo project): 😎

Favorite track: High Plains Drifter.

donz148 It is a delightful EP. I love the mix of orchestra and electric guitar. Favorite track: The Incantation.

Gorgochov Love hearing this from Kirk. I can tell he's wanted to do this for awhile. Lots of imagination, of course!

LAURENT BUR merci beaucoup Kirk je n'aurai jamais imaginé ceci venant de toi.
Peu de wah wah finalement et une finesse incroyable englobant ces chansons dans une ouate un feutre et qui tout à coup nous sort de cela avec des passages inspirés des Floyd de Morricone d'Apocalyptica de Shankar des comics et des movies de Carpenter et autres maîtres de l'horreur et de petits passages venant tout droit de Metallica...
Sans compter tous les autres...
un grand bravo ...
l'élève de Satriani a-t-il dépassé le maître

about

Kirk Hammett’s debut solo EP Portals, inspired by a range of music from classical to horror movie soundtracks, is out on April 23 for Record Store Day via Blackened Recordings. “This music was created with what I describe as an Audio-Cinematic approach. They’re soundtracks to the movies in your mind,” says Hammett.

The four-track instrumental EP was produced by Hammett and mixed by Hammett and Bob Rock.
