(Gibson) Metallica are scheduled to enter the studio later this month, and the band have until recently remained tight-lipped on plans. Now, drummer Lars Ulrich has told Metal Hammer magazine that there will be no shortage of material when the foursome's 10th studio album gets started.Hetfield himself said: "I can't turn off the creative part of me, which is ¬- what a great gift. There's stuff coming out all the time, whether it's in the tuning room, in my hotel room, sitting at home with the acoustic, wherever. The stuff is coming out, and it gets recorded or written down or something, some way, and it'll come out at some point. Whether it's on this album, the next album, who knows?"
The next Metallica album will follow up 2008's Death Magnetic, but Metallica web forums are already speculating it might not be a "full" new album, if only because Ulrich added: "[Is it] something new? Um... not necessarily. It depends on where you look at it from. I wouldn't call it something new." more on this story
