Nitro Return And Recruit Lamb Of God Star

(Classic Rock) US outfit Nitro have confirmed the news that they've reformed. Joining founding members, vocalist Jim Gillette and guitarist Michael Angelo Batio, is Lamb Of God drummer Chris Adler who says he's been "blown away" by the trio's new material.

He says: "I'm not sure who keeps giving my phone number to the most talented musicians on the planet but, I couldn't be more thrilled. I used to wonder what a metal band would sound like with all the cheat codes unlocked and well, I don't wonder about that anymore.

"I'm blown away by the modern sound and groove in the material. The chaos has been harnessed and it's incredibly heavy." Gillette along with Batio and bassist T.J. Racer and drummer Bobby Rock released Nitro's debut album O.F.R. in 1989. Following several lineup changes, they issued their second record Nitro II: H.W.D.W.S. in 1991 but split two years later.
