Metallica’s Next Album Is Due This Year – But Still Needs A Title
Metallica’s next album should be released in 2016, according to Lars Ulrich.
The group have not released an album since 2008, when they produced Death Magnetic, but drummer Ulrich has revealed the next album is “pretty close” to being finished.
He told Vulture: “There’s a record coming at some point in the future. Not soon enough, but we are pretty close.
“Unless something drastic happens, it will come out this year. We should be done with it this spring.”
Ulrich admitted the album still does not have a title.
He said: “I don’t know what else to say – there’s no title yet, there’s a bunch of songs, it sounds like Metallica, it’s all good!”
Ulrich, below, recently confessed he cannot fathom how the band made their third studio LP Master Of Puppets in just eight weeks.
The 52-year-old said: “There’s a spark or spontaneity or impulsiveness that happens when you’re in your twenties.
“We wrote Master Of Puppets in probably eight weeks over that summer. Nowadays, it takes me eight weeks just to drive own to the studio. It’s like, ‘What the f*** did we do in the summer of ’85 where we could just give birth to that from the first note to the last note in eight weeks?’”
