Goodnight, Texas join forces with Metallica’s Kirk Hammett for new single ‘Runaways’
Metallica’s lead guitarist Kirk Hammett for a gritty new single, ‘Runaways’. Check out the track below.Set to arrive on digital platforms next week, the track is a perfect halfway mark for fans of both Metallica and Goodnight, Texas, as it sees the American band team up with the guitarist and combine their respective folk and thrash metal sound.Taking a step away from their usual thought-provoking style of folk, the two singer-songwriters Patrick Dyer Wolf and Avi Vinocur instead take more of a classic hard rock approach to the single, before the thrash guitarist contributes one of his signature wah-heavy solos around three-quarters in.“This is the hardest we’ve ever rocked on a recording,” Dyer Wolf said of the new single (via Metal Injection).
