After some brief teasing, Lamb Of God‘s drummer Chris Adler has revealed that he has joined the reunited metal band Nitro, who are returning with founding members Michael Angelo Batio (guitars) and Jim Gillette (vocals). The band are currently writing new material and will be entering the studio with Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Korn) next month for a spring release and touring. Adler commented:
“I’m not sure who keeps giving my phone number to the most talented musicians on the planet but, I couldn’t be more thrilled! I used to wonder what a metal band would sound like with all the cheat codes unlocked and well, I don’t wonder about that anymore. I’m blown away by the modern sound and groove in the material. The chaos has been harnessed and it’s incredibly heavy.”
Gillette added:
“I’m honored to be surrounded by such insanely talented musicians. I mean, Michael and Chris are the best of the best. So yeah, it’s very exciting, humbling and even a little intimidating. To be honest, I’m less intimidated when I get in the ring with a 300-pound monster that wants to tear my head off!”
Thus far it appears that Adler will remain a member of Lamb Of God as well, similar to his previous role in Megadeth.
