Murder mystery dinners are fun and all, but lets be real—aside from the candelabra used to bludgeon the poor victim to death, they just aren’t metal enough. That’s about to change this April, when Metallica guitarist and horror fanatic Kirk Von Hammett hosts his second annual Fear FestEvil in San Jose, which will feature a whodunnit dinner and party at the Winchester Mystery House and two days of punishing performances from the likes of Swedish face-melters Meshuggah and Oakland-based stoner metal trio High On Fire.
The VIP murder mystery dinner and tour of the Winchester mansion will be held on April 10. Hammett will join the guests, along with some “very special ‘horror royalty,'” according to the event’s website. The following two nights—April 11 and 12—Hammett will be showing off some of his horror film memorabilia at the RockBar Theater, where Meshuggah, High On Fire, Orchid, Blues Pills, Agnostic Front and Asada Messiah will perform.
“It has always been my intention that Fear FestEvil events carry both the weird and the loud,” Hammett says in a press release on the event. The first Fear FestEvil was held last year in San Francisco at the Regency Ballroom.
