Metallica’s new album has reportedly entered the mixing stage. An article from the band’s SoWhat! fan club magazine seemed to confirm the news, which means the effort may be out before the end of 2016. In other news, Lars Ulrich revealed that expanded CD and vinyl versions of their “No Life ‘Til Leather” demo tape were delayed due to legal reasons.
Ulrich told Metal Forces the following about “No Life ‘Til Leather”:
“There were some unexpected difficulties on the legal side that prevented the No Life ’Til Leather box set and our vision for how we were going to kick this whole reissue series off. We spent some time doing that dance, but then James [Hetfield] and I decided that it wasn’t worth it getting bogged down in all the unpleasantries, because this was supposed to be a celebration and not end up being a tug of war, so we thought, you know what, fuck it, we’ll just move on to Kill ’Em All.”
