(KNAC) Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett said in the latest issue of So What!, the band's official fan club magazine, that many of the songs on the band's new album have a "Middle Eastern" or "Arabic" sound to them. Hammett explained, "There is a really unusual theme that's working its way into the music. I'm not really sure how to react to it... a lot of the music has an eastern harmonic flair to it, a harmonic minor flair to it, and when I say harmonic minor... those sounds are distinctly Arabic sounding or Middle Eastern sounding, and you hear them in all the songs."[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
