Legendary extreme metal drummer Nick Barker has confirmed that he is working on his autobiography in a recent interview with “Reckless” Rexx Ruger of the Pod Scum podcast.
In the conversation, Barker discussed his writing process and how it has been a cathartic experience so far.
He explained that writing about his childhood and early days playing drums was difficult due to experiencing a shitty upbringing.
Barker reflected on his time with various bands, including CRADLE OF FILTH, DIMMU BORGIR, and LOCK UP, discussing their musical styles and experiences.
He also spoke about his life as a session player for notable metal acts.
Barker’s book aims to cover more than just the \u2026sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll\u2026 aspects of his career.
Barker is currently on dialysis due to stage five chronic kidney disease but remains optimistic about receiving a kidney transplant soon.
He has been overwhelmed with gratitude for the support he has received from fans and the metal community through his GoFundMe campaign, which has raised over \u00a770,000 so far.
Barker’s autobiography is expected to delve into various aspects of his life as a musician and offer insights into his experiences in the music industry.
