Metal musicians love coffee. Well, a lot of people love coffee, but it seems metalheads love launching their own roasts. In recent years, we've seen roasts from Dave Mustaine, Black Label Society and Periphery. Now, Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett has announced he's getting in the game.
Kirk's pedal company, KHDK Electronics, has teamed up with Dark Matter Coffee for a special limited edition brew, sourced from El Salvador and featuring notes of apricot, praline, bourbon and mulling spice. The Dark Matter Coffee website explains:
Guarding a serpentine circuit of obsidian, Ghoul Screamer was forged in the bottomless mines of Az’g’orath to protect humanity from the forces of evil by summoning the scream of the Ghoul. (from “ghôùll”, Sumarian for “sick tone”). Heed the prophecy; only warriors of the sacred caffeine-to-blood ratio will wield the power of Ghoul Screamer, a fully fermented brew with waves of untamed punch. Those unworthy will be consumed by its force.
You can grab a 12 oz bag for $18 on the Dark Matter Coffee website.
Remember, metalheads. Drinking coffee is a good way to prevent tinnitus in the future,
