Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser revealed in his latest studio diary from the ongoing recording sessions for the bands new album that ex-Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo has tracked a guest appearance for the effort.
The outfit have been recording the album with the production team of Ross Robinson (Slipknot, Korn) and Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die) as of late. Of the cameo Kisser said:
“…We were preparing to record the second guitar when Ross received a message on his phone. He was really excited about it so he stopped everything to tell us what was going on: Dave Lombardo, the one and only ex-drummer from Slayer, also plays with Mike Patton on Fantomas, was real close to the studio with his kids and his dog enjoying some time at the beach, Ross asked if he would like to come to the studio and jam something on our album and he said YES! We were so excited, we could not believe that one of our great idols was ready to be a part of our new album.
He came and it was so nice, so special, so awesome! He is one of the nicest guys in business and he enjoyed the idea a lot. Ross and Mike prepared two drum sets on the living room, facing each other, no cymbals, just tribal drums! When the mics were all ready and running Eloy and Dave started playing and the magic was on, so great! The part they recorded will be a special part on the middle of one of the songs, it came out crazy!
We just have to thank Mr. Lombardo and his family for this opportunity. Thank you Dave, we will never forget this, it’s a real honor to have you on the album!”
