DAVE LOMBARDO Goes Back To His Cuban Roots; Video
March 29, 2016, 8 years ago
One of the most influential drummers in the history of heavy metal, Dave Lombardo’s Latino roots are often overlooked. In the video below from Fuse, the former Slayer drummer reflects on his earliest days when he and his family emigrated to America from Cuba when he was a child in the ‘60s.
Lombardo’s band, Dead Cross, recently released it’s first official studio recording, the track “We’ll Sleep When They’re Dead”.
"This band provokes my aggression," Lombardo tells Rolling Stone. "We, (producer) Ross (Robinson) included, all have fearless musical mindsets. Our collective résumés definitely reflect that. I believe that when you have musicians in a room that share that particular attribute, it takes you to another level in every way. With this band, I play harder, I play faster, and I play with the fury that this music demands. Each member brings a great deal of intensity and skill to the table. It's invigorating to work with them."
