Oroa er inte Metallica fans för era thrash-hjältar har officiellt börjat skriva nytt material inför sitt kommande album som släppas under 2014. Albumet följer upp Death Magnetic från 2008.
Bandets trummis Lars Ulrich kommenterar det nya materialet, “The stuff that we were banging out yesterday, it felt heavy, it felt energetic, it was loud, it was fast, it was rocking, it was crazy. The snare drum was on there and there were guitar solos, in case anybody was wondering. What we’re doing now certainly sounds like a continuation of where we left off four years ago.”
Det finns än så länge inga uppgifter om Rick Rubin än en gång står för producentrollen, Ulrich säger, “I love Rick, we all love Rick. We’re in touch with Rick constantly. We’ll see where it goes.”
