Guitarist and creative experimenter Killick Hinds pays homage in abstract and tangential ways to Metallica's 1986 album Master of Puppets, an influence on Killick's youth, which he references somewhere between re-creation and distillation, in a factory-made cassette with 8 pieces he describes as "hypnagogic wake-dreams."

"This is an homage to one of my favorite pieces of music ever, Metallica's 1986 album Master of Puppets. The original arrived back then with high hopes since I was enthralled as a 12-year old by its predecessor Ride the Lightning. MoP was a refinement and expansion of the formula, thrashing and lyrical by turns, laying the groundwork for what became a mainstream phenomenon. But I felt fully their raw spark of undistracted creativity before popular success had the group making craft concessions.
For Old Hat to Clothed Toes, it was fun and rewarding to enter the liminal space between re-creation and distillate. It's my hope these hypnagogic wake-dreams stir in you something beautiful and awe-inspiring just as the source material did for me over 30 years ago.
The world has changed in then-unforeseen ways, especially now in the time of coronavirus, and the fact that I can share this with you is (in a very tiny way) one of the good ways...a seed was planted and it's now sprouting a few shoots. I'm grateful for your interest and support. Thanks as always for listening, and thanks to the fearless creators casting light into the underworld, one beam of which came into being at just the right time. Oh yeah yeah!"-Killick!
