I was to help celebrate the BIG FOUR, Check it out!

Rhythm’s Magazine’s Thrash Big Four issue out now

The August issue of Rhythm, the UK’s best-selling drum magazine, is on sale now – featuring interviews with the biggest names in Thrash drumming on the birth of the ground-breaking genre.

Hot on the heels of Thrash’s Big Four – Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax – sharing a stage together for the first time ever last month, Rhythm has spoken to the men behind the beats. In this issue we get the lowdown from Lars Ulrich, Dave Lombardo, Shawn Drover and Charlie Benante on how it all began, who invented the blastbeat, what it means to be sharing a stage together and much, much more in our killer cover feature.

Not only do we talk to the four men behind the thrash masters, we also pick the brains of metal sticksmen including Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Dave Witte (Municipal Waste), Steve Asheim (Decide), Paul Mazurkiewicz (Cannibal Corpse) and Ben Carter (Evile) to find out exactly why they love Thrash.
