Metallica Going Old School On New Album?

12/30/2011
. (Banana 101.5) Metallica are working with producer Rick Rubin on their next proper studio album. You never know with Metallica, but there's a good chance we will see the follow-up to 'Death Magnetic' in 2012.

'Death Magnetic,'s return to form was generally well-received by critics and fans who had felt neglected by their turn to mainstream rock around the time of the "Black Album." Bassist Robert Trujillo gave a hint at the direction of the new material speaking to Gulfnews.com in October:

"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. But the great thing is that we have sort of already jumped off the launch pad and we're swimming. It's happening. It's reality. 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." more on this story
