🤘 Dave Lombardo On Filling In For Metallica’s Lars Ulrich At 2004 Download Festival: "It Was A Challenge"

Imagine stepping in for Metallica’s drummer… with barely any time to prepare.

Back in 2004, Lars Ulrich had to step away from Metallica’s set at Download Festival, leaving the band scrambling for a last-minute replacement. Enter drumming legend Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Testament), who got the call to step up and make history.

Recently, Lombardo reflected on the experience, calling it "a challenge"— and for good reason. He and the band only had a few minutes to rehearse backstage before hitting the stage. That’s right—minimal prep, thousands of fans, and one of the biggest metal bands of all time.

🔥 Could YOU handle stepping in for Metallica with almost zero rehearsal? Lombardo did, and he crushed it. Drop your thoughts—because this is one for the history books.

💀 Katatonia Parts Ways With Founding Guitarist Anders Nyström

The dark and brooding world of Katatonia just got a little darker. The Swedish metal legends have officially announced the departure of founding guitarist Anders Nyström.

Nyström has been a key force behind Katatonia’s sound for over three decades, shaping their melancholic, atmospheric metal into something truly unique. The band hasn’t detailed the reasons behind the split, but this is a major shift for Katatonia’s future.

❓ Will this change the band’s sound? Who should step in to fill the void? Katatonia fans, drop your thoughts—we know you’ve got ‘em.
