It may be a bit before we hear new music from Metallica, so new solo music from guitarist Kirk Hammett will have to hold us over.

Hammett released his solo song ‘High Plains Drifter’ late last week. The song will appear on Hammett’s Portals EP, which is scheduled to be released on April 23rd.

You can hear ‘High Plains Drifter’ below:
