New-Look Metallica Returns To Old Sound

Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo recently spoke to The Tennessean about the group’s upcoming studio album, which the band hope to begin recording in February. “We already have over 50 hours of song ideas recorded,” he said. “There’s some speed, some of it is kind of raw and funky, most of it has that heavy groove which I think is a stand-out ingredient for Metallica… James [Hetfield] is throwin’ down some killer riffs… and whatever it is man, it’s gonna be heavy. We’re getting really excited about doing an album as this team.”
