Report: SLAYER, EXODUS, AMEN Members Team Up With Super Producer Ross Robinson For New Project
January 3, 2013, 11 years ago
AOL's Noisecreep are reporting that EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt, SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo, AMEN vocalist Casey Chaos and ex-QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE bassist Nick Oliveri have teamed up in a new, as-yet-unnamed project.
The still-unnamed project was borne out of the endless hours the two stood onstage during Slayer soundchecks whilst touring the world.
"Whenever Dave and I would get on deck for soundcheck, we'd go up there first and jam make up stuff everyday," says Holt. "It just comes easy for us. We're both into being spontaneous and improvising. We probably have an album's worth of material."
Robinson divulges that director Dean Karr (best known for his landmark videos for MARILYN MANSON) and producer Sean E. Demott approached Robinson to provide music for a documentary film about House Of Shock, the infamous New Orleans haunted house attraction founded in 1992 by former PANTERA frontman Phil Anselmo.
"The first thing I wanted to do was tap into this energy between Gary and Dave," says Ross of the unnamed project. "And Casey has this amazing ability to do these amazing choruses and be so violent and ruthless at it."Footage of Lombardo tracking drums for the new project can be seen below:
