Trujillo tells Gulf News, "We've been busy writing and recording. We've got a couple of new songs we have been working on the past couple of weeks. The writing process for the new Metallica album has begun.

"We've been in the studio with Rick Rubin, working on a couple of things, and we're going to be recording during the most of next year. We've got a lot of work ahead of us.

It's a lot of fun, there are a lot of ideas, and we're really excited about the new record.

"For me, personally, Death Magnetic was the launch pad for the next record. This is the beginning of something very, very cool."

"I was just like, Wow. A channel that's never respected us or played us to f— us like that? [laughs] I mean, MTV is kind of a joke now anyway — what's more funny than that?

Nada Surf Debut New Song Online

Nada Surf have set a January 24, 2012 release date for their new album, The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy, and you can hear one of the new tracks right now.

NPR debuted the first track, "When I Was Young," yesterday. Fans can now grab, share and re-post the free download from NPR more.

Unlike all of the other Nada Surf records, Stars was made with a distinct attempt to capture their live sound. "We've always played faster and a little harder live," Caws says, "but we'd play so carefully in the studio. So with this album, we made a conscious decision to preserve what it felt like in the practice room, when you play with that new-song energy. Just embrace it and not worry whether we're overdoing it, kind of get all the thinking out of the way." The tempos are high, but the songs bristle with hooks, breathtaking changes, and Nada Surf's trademark genius bridges. The educated ear will hear the influence of many bands from '60s Brit-pop to post-punk and vintage indie, and yet there is an unmistakable Nada Surf sound: a certain rhythm section groove, introspective chord shapes and the unique emotional weight to Caws's voice, both boyish and very soulful, a combination of wisdom and vulnerability.

John Lennon Comic Book Coming

We received the following word that a John Lennon comic book is coming this December. Here are the details:

In the pantheon of musical legends, John Lennon is at the top of the mountain, if not the king of the mountain. From his time with the Beatles and his solo projects, he asked the world to ignore borders and divisions, and instead he encouraged the average person to embrace what brings people together. And when his life ended viciously from an assassin's bullet in 1980, the music industry, and the world, lost an advocate for peace, love and true musicality.

Now Bluewater shares Lennon's story as part of Bluewater Comics "Orbit" series. Orbit: John Lennon will hit comic book stores in Dec. 2011 in time for the anniversary of his passing. more on this story

Singled Out: Adakain's Sky is Falling

Today Jason Schauer of Adakain tells us about "Sky is Falling" from their new EP "Silhouette Of Lies". Here is the story:

The writing process for our newest EP "Silhouette Of Lies" was substantially different from our previous album. We took ample amount of time to really find the sound that defines us as a band. We practically lived in our rehearsal spot for months on end holding nothing back experimenting with different sounds, melodies, and tones. Riffs came out left and right and we would try to fuse them together as best we could sometimes working sometimes not so much. We wrote about 15 or 20 songs before we decided to take the material to the studio in Knoxville, TN.

The song "Sky Is Falling" was quite a bit different lyrically and melodically before we entered the studio. It just didn't seem to really capture the vision of the song so with us living in an RV park down the road from the studio we pretty much would eat, sleep and write the album. Needless to say the final melody and lyrics got finished in the studio.

"Sky Is Falling" is about the inevitable ending of something great in your life. It could be someone you are in a relationship with or a good friend. The list goes on and that's what I love about this song is that it can be inturpreted in so many different ways. The phrase " Sky is Falling" resembles all of the negative repercussions from the situation falling down on you. This song is definitely one of my favs.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, check out the video right here!
