Metallica Have Completed Recording New Album Says Hetfield

(Classic Rock) James Hetfield has confirmed Metallica have completed recording their 10th album and it's now in the mixing stage. And he believes fans won't feel let down after waiting eight years for the follow-up to Death Magnetic.

Speaking earlier this month, the Metallica frontman told NBC Sports (via Blabbermouth): "We're mixing it now. Hopefully by fall it'll be out and hitting people's ears."

He added: "We're super-stoked about it. It's been a long time coming. The next album is exactly what it's supposed to be, so we're excited about it." Read more here.
