Metallica Confirm 3D Film
Plus they talk about the sound of the new album
Following speculation in the press recently Metallica revealed on their official website:
"There is indeed a 3D project in the very early stages of production! We wish we could tell you more right now, but we don't have all the finer points nailed down just yet. What we can tell you is that we are planning on being in a theatre near you sometime in 2013"
And they have also revealed that they are perhaps further through the recording than anyone had assumed, with Lars Ulrich telling Rolling Stone Magazine that they have written several songs already.
"We're about seven, eight songs into it," drummer Ulrich tells Rolling Stone. "We do it in rounds. We come up with something, we leave it, go to the next thing, come up with something basic, leave it and circle back around. Next month we'll go back and start embellishing: 'Let's double that one part and come up with a middle bit.'"
Guitarist Kirk Hammett says of the songs "If 'Death Magnetic' was a logical successor to 1988's '...And Justice For All', the next album will be a heavier Black Album. We're not going to the depths of complexity that we did for 'Death Magnetic'. The stuff we're coming up with is more groove-oriented, a heavier version of what we were doing in the early Nineties."
