METALLICA haben jetzt verkündet, man werde sich ab kommenden September erneut ins Studio begeben, um mit den Arbeiten am nächsten Album zu starten.

Es soll dann in 2013 erscheinen, einmal mehr werden die Thrash-Urgesteine mit Produzent Rick Rubin, wie schon beim Vorgänger „Death Magnetic“ zusammenarbeiten.



Drummer Lars Ulrich dazu:

"Every time James Hetfield picks up a guitar, there are some brilliant Riffs that come out of it, and I try to make sure that they are all recorded and try to do my best to keep up with them and try to put some Drums in behind them. So there are, obviously, tons of ideas sitting around waiting to be had at in terms of turning ideas of James' into Songs.

Pretty much when we're done with the [3D] movie [project] and with Outside Lands, which should all be wrapped up by early September, we're gonna basically just concentrate on new music and try to get another METALLICA record [done]."
