When Lombardo promises their music will be “angrier, faster, than anything else I’ve done before”, you know it’s going to be intense stuff. On top of that, he’s working on the debut album from his new hardcore supergroup Dead Cross, featuring bassist Justin Pearson from The Locust, guitarist Mike Crain from The Festival Of Dead Deer and Mike Patton on vocals. Decades later, the drummer’s presence in the line-up and on their album World Gone Mad has helped power a resurgence of interest in Suicidal Tendencies. “A lot of the music brings back really good memories,” says Lombardo, who first saw Suicidal perform at The Concert Factory in Los Angeles in 1982 and who used to blast out their track Subliminal in the Slayer tour van. In 2016 he toured with punk icons The Misfits and accepted Mike Muir’s invitation to join thrash-punk crossover legends Suicidal Tendencies. He’s even worked on the music for a Disney pilot! Lombardo has been a member of Faith No More frontman Mike Patton’s avant-garde group Fantomas, played alongside experimental saxophonist John Zorn, appeared on film soundtracks, including the Chinese box office smash hit The Monkey King, and performed movie scores with composer Christopher Young and a 75-piece orchestra. With Slayer in the 1980s he raised the bar for metal players everywhere with his furious double-kick playing, which wrote the blueprint for death metal.
