METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX Drummers Interviewed For RHYTHM Magazine's Thrash Issue

July 6, 2010

The August 2010 issue of Rhythm, the U.K.'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, it gets 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. Not only does the magazine talk to the four men behind the thrash masters, it also picks the brains of metal sticksmen Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER),Dave Witte (MUNICIPAL WASTE),Steve Asheim (DEICIDE),Paul Mazurkiewicz (CANNIBAL CORPSE) and Ben Carter (EVILE) to find out exactly why they love thrash. The issue also features interviews with Josh Freese (DEVO),Shannon Larkin (GODSMACK),John Tempesta (THE CULT) and Joe Nunez (SOULFLY),among many, many more, as well as all of the latest drumming news, gear reviews and tuition.
