Metal Anarchy

According to Rolling Stone, Lars Ulrich has stated that Metallica is in the “fourth inning” of the album process.

Ulrich said the following when asked about the new disc:

“We’re going through the grind. We’re in there doing riffs and putting them into songs. We don’t really write one song and then show up the next day and do another one. We just work on riffs and sections, connecting riffs and tempos and moods. We’ve been doing this, off and on, for the better part of a year. We’re going to do these dates this summer and then really hone down. I’d say that right now, we’re in the fourth inning.”

He also said:

“We’re going to start talking about who is going to produce the album. We haven’t started recording yet. But we are deep into the songwriting part of it.”

Now fans just have to wait for further details on the upcoming album.
