This sounds like who Kirk is on the inside. We all know he’s got a beautiful heart.

Not enough people are talking about Portals. Absolutely breathtaking music.

kirk is not only a metalhead, he's an overall amazing musician

Kirk really needs to release more solo stuff like this because god damn this is amazing, he’d be such an amazing solo artist

Solo around 4 minutes is living proof that the Kirk from the first few Metallica records is still there. What made Kirk great on those records was his profound sense of MELODY. With these more recent Metallica records where it's "let's just record your first take" he doesn't have time to develop the amazing melodies he ultimately comes up with. Nice that on his solo record he can do that.

You know who would of really liked this? Cliff would of really liked this. Its magic. Thanks for sharing.

I’m happy for Kirk. I think all Metallica fans know what the dynamic in the band is like, so it’s great that he’s able to express himself freely with this project and scratch that creative itch.

There are songs that clock in under 3 minutes and feel like they last an eternity. Then there are songs like this one that are nearly twice as long and feel like they're over in the blink of an eye. Really, really dig this song.

The 2:10 chord progression is the same as Kirk's 'Die by my hand' riff in Creeping Death. Love this stuff!

Phenomenal

I'm not a Metallica fan much at all, but I have to give Kirk props for the Morricone inspired music that he brought to life and the cinematic journey he just took us on!

The soul of Kirk. It speaks right to the heart.

I am legit in awe that Kirk has yet to do some sort of soundtrack or score to a movie because holy crap, the build up and the pay off is so good! Kirks always been such a humble guy and i am certain that he has so many ideas that he would love to share with the world!

I've just heard that Kirk have own solo project from Beato interview. Gonna give this all the support that I have. Man, this is great news

How kirk composes his songs makes you feel an urgency to come back again to listen to his music. There is so much passion in Kirk’s musical artworks, which makes you feel connected to them, and that’s how Kirk takes the top spot as my favourite guitarist.

It's great when talented musicians who belong to well-known bands dare to leave their comfort zone and fly alone.

Man… I didnt knew what to expect from that song but damn… It’s deep, pure, unique, it’s saying a story without saying any word, it’s emotional but powerful. I hear a little bit of Metallica, a little bit of Morricone, a little bit of Pink Floyd, i hear Kirk. Man, you are a hero.

Kirk Hammett listens to Godspeed You! Black Emperor, clearly. Love this.
