November 30, 2016, 7 years ago
It's official... Nitro has reunited! Joining founding members - legendary guitar virtuoso Michael Angelo Batio and glass-shattering vocalist Jim Gillette - is one of today's most respected and revered metal drummers, Lamb Of God’s Chris Adler.
Said Adler: ”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."
Batio states: "I can't wait to get onstage with these guys! Inspirational is an understatement."
Added Gillette: ”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!"
Nitro is currently writing and is scheduled to start recording next month with Grammy-winning producer, Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Megadeth, Hatebreed and many more). An anticipated release is spring of 2017, with a world tour to follow.
