Opium Death is a brutal concoction of extreme metal, sent forth from the suburbs of Chicago, USA to lay waste to metalheads around the world with their first full-length album “Genocidal Nemesis”, which is being unleashed on April 19th.
Jon tells of his most memorable touring moments, how he got the lead guitarist gig for Anthrax, the future of Shadows Fall, his new project “Living Wreckage” and his dream band line-up.
Jon joined Anthrax initially for a 2 week tour slot in 2013 to fill in for Rob Caggiano however after constant touring demands, he was asked to join the band on a permanent basis 6 months later. Having already had a successful 20 year career with Shadows Fall previously, this came as a dream come true and “I’m crazy if I don’t do this because I love Anthrax, I grew up on Anthrax. I’ll never have this opportunity again.”
