Our Take

Dave Lombardo has always been a force to be reckoned with behind the drumkit. From his days with Slayer to his work with Fantômas, his intricate rhythms and unparalleled energy have made him a legend in the world of metal. Now, with his latest solo effort, "Rites Of Percussion", Lombardo proves once again why he's considered one of the best in the business.

From the moment the album kicks off with the thunderous opening track "Blastbeat Bonanza", it's clear that Lombardo is not holding anything back. The frenetic pace and sheer power of his drumming is enough to make even the most seasoned headbanger's head spin. But what sets "Rites Of Percussion" apart from his previous works is the sheer diversity of sounds and textures on display.

Tracks like "Rhythmic Ritual" showcase Lombardo's ability to create complex, polyrhythmic patterns that are as hypnotic as they are punishing. Meanwhile, on songs like "Beatdown Boogie", he demonstrates a more groove-oriented approach that is sure to get even the most stone-faced metalhead tapping their foot.

Overall, "Rites Of Percussion" is a tour de force of drumming prowess that cements Lombardo's status as a true master of his craft. Whether you're a die-hard fan of metal or just someone who appreciates incredible musicianship, this album is a must-listen. So grab your air drums and get ready to be blown away by the one and only Dave Lombardo.

About the artist

Dave Lombardo

Dave Lombardo is not just a drummer - he's a force of nature, a whirlwind of beats and fills that can make even the most jaded music critic sit up and take notice. With a career spanning over four decades, Lombardo is best known for his time with thrash metal titans Slayer, where his lightning-fast double bass drumming helped define the genre. But Lombardo is no one-trick pony - he has also lent his considerable talents to a wide range of projects, from industrial rockers Ministry to avant-garde jazz outfit John Zorn's Bladerunner. Known for his thunderous drumming style and impeccable timing, Lombardo is a drumming virtuoso whose technical prowess is matched only by his passion for pushing the boundaries of what is possible behind a drum kit. Offstage, Lombardo is a true gent - a laid-back, down-to-earth guy with a wicked sense of humour and a love of good food and fine wine. When he's not touring the world with his latest project, you'll often find him at home in Los Angeles, tinkering with his vintage drum kit or hitting the local taco truck for his favourite carne asada burrito. Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Dave Lombardo is a true original - a drumming legend who continues to inspire and astound audiences around the world. So next time you're in need of a serious drumming fix, do yourself a favour and crank up some Lombardo - you won't be disappointed.
