Metallica's Kirk Hammett is well-known as a horror fanatic, and just in time for Halloweekend, the guitarist and bandmate Robert Trujillo have come together to cover a monstrous rock classic in Edgar Winter Group's "Frankenstein."
The two Metallica members got together to record the cover as a seasonal greeting from the band's Blackened American Whiskey, so expect a few bottle shots worked in amongst Hammett shredding at home surrounded by Frankenstein faces, and Trujillo laying down low-end in front of a wall of masks. Soon enough, the bassist dons a devilish one of his own.
Lately, Metallica have been celebrating 30 years of their wildly successful self-titled 1991 LP — known best as The Black Album — with a 53-song covers companion that features work from some talented Canadians.
