Metallica Expanding Sonics On New Album Says Lars

(Classic Rock) Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich says the band's upcoming 10th studio album is "more of a diverse record" than 2008's Death Magnetic. The San Francisco group are currently mixing the project, which is expected to be released later this year.

Ulrich tells Citizens Of Humanity: "It definitely sounds like Metallica. It's probably a little less frenetic than the last record. The last one Rick Rubin really encouraged us to, for the first time, be inspired by our past. It was the first time we sort of looked in the rearview mirror.

"This time around it's a little bit of a different thing. We're not working with Rick, we're working with the engineer from the last record, who's producing, Greg Fidelman.

"So there's some of the same production elements at play, but we're expanding a little bit on the sonics. It's probably a bit more of a diverse record than the last one." Read more here.
