New Supergroup Involving Metallica Bassist Robert Trujillo Revealed! Complete Lineup Listed

A new supergroup is about to be formed featuring Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, Torche drummer Rick Smith, Harmonic Cross' Brent Eyestone and Graham Scala and Converge bassist Nate Newton.

In a recent report by Loud Wire, the yet to be named supergroup is expected to come out with a new album very soon, where the band was formed because of their affiliation with the Tony Hawk Foundation.

"I started up this project recently with Robert from Metallica and Rick from Torche," Brent Eyestone revealed in an interview with Noisey. "It's a project through the Tony Hawk Foundation. It's me, Robert Trujillo, Rick Smith, Graham, and then Nate Newton from Converge and Doomriders. We're doing this record, it's just going to be a couple of tracks that we're going to put it out digitally and on vinyl."

"All the money that comes in will be donated to the Tony Hawk Foundation. We all like to skate and we believe in that charity; making free skate parks for lower-income areas. There's no name and no release date, but once it's done all proceeds will go to public skate parks."

With regard to the sound, the Magic Bullet Records founder claimed that they have no idea how they would put things together for now and what direction their music would take them.

"We're just rabid musicians who want to make new stuff and not put a cap on what it is." He concluded, "It could be an ambient record, it could be a weird, negative hardcore record, or just a band with people we didn't think we could get."

First hint of the supergroup being formed was back in February where Brent went on his Instagram account and posted a studio shot of the members including Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo.

"My first writing and recording project since moving to the West Coast was both surreal and inspiring. Thanks so much to my homies behind the scenes at @tonyhawkfoundation and @metallica for logistical support and enthusiasm, my dudes Ricky, Graham, and Robert for bringing their passions for all music, Chris and Vanessa for technical support and tracking, Blind Melon for the studio, and The Melvins/Big Business for drums. Stay tuned..."
