Now that Lars Ulrich has sold off his multi-million dollar art collection, he's had the time to write new material with Metallica, in an attempt to put together a follow-up to the less than exciting St. Anger. In an interview with The Rock Radio, Lars revealed that the band has written twenty-five new songs, and will begin recording in January.
Quote:
"What I hear sounds very lively, very spunky, got a lot of energy. I think that the shows we played over the summer, we were definitely leaner and kind of in better shape than we've been in a long time. I mean, having to deliver Master of Puppets for three months this summer definitely revitalized some of that stuff in us, and it's been kind of fun having that in the back of our mind."
The little Danish guy refered to Puppets, but is he just a tease? Is there life after St. Anger?
Quote:
Referring to the controversial, low-fi production on 2003's St. Anger, Ulrich said that he's "taken the drums out of the cardboard boxes" this time, and that lead guitarist Kirk Hammett will lay down guitar solos on this record.
There is a God! Don't forget that Rick Rubin will also be behind the boards for this one. I've fallen for the Puppets mention hook, line and sinker and I'm willing to give the band another chance. However, you better believe I'm downloading well in advance of shelling out any money and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Lars, you've been warned. the album should be out in late 2007.
