Published 24th Sep 2013

Metallica are planning to record their tenth album next year, Robert Trujillo has confirmed.

The bassist says the follow-up to 2008’s ‘Death Magnetic’ has been in development since late last year and they’re now primed to start laying down the material in the studio.

Reflection on the autumn 2012 sessions, Trujillo said: “(They were) what I call the process of elimination, where we go through all the riffs and ideas we’ve all had, and we’re 80 per cent of the way through that.

“The plan is next year to move forward and start recording.

“Metallica always takes on the challenge, and the fans can take what they want from it. At the end of the day, we always get them back.”

The band’s upcoming 3D movie Metallica: Through the Never hits cinema screens in the UK on 4th October.

It’s preceded by the official soundtrack next week - the full track-listing is as follows:

Disc 1 The Ecstasy Of Gold Creeping Death For Whom The Bell Tolls Fuel Ride The Lightning One The Memory Remains Wherever I May Roam Cyanide' …And Justice For All

Disc 2 Master Of Puppets Battery Nothing Else Matters Enter Sandman Hit The Lights Orion
