The Swedes Evocation are facing changes in the band. Drummer Janne Kenttäkumpu Bodén and guitarist Vesa Kenttäkumpu have left the death metal band. Both members announced to the group that they would no longer be a part of the band after 2013.

You better be damned sure what you've created will not only standout in your own catalogue as the proud centrepiece of your career, but also knock down any potential competition. Well, as much as I'd hate to support such self-righteous boasting, Heavenwood really hit it home with this one. The use of symphonics in metal generally means one of two things; 1) Keyboards...

Metallica
St. Anger is dedicated to one of Hammett's major influences: Kenneth Anger. Anger was an active esoterist (which some of his films reflect) and a sympathizer of Aleister Crowley's "Thelema" philosophy. Anger is also a member of the secret society known as Ordo Templi Orientalis. Anger is well known in Hollywood for movies such as "Hollywood Babylon", which is also the title of a song by the Misfits. Anger was a friend of the Rolling Stones and Jimmy Page, and was a huge influence on Hammett.
