METALLICA’s Robert Trujillo Discusses Next Album – “Everybody’s Gotta Be Patient”

Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo was interviewed by Fozzy vocalist Chris Jericho on a recent episode of Talk Is Jericho, which can be listened to at Podcast One.

On the recording sessions of Metallica’s next album, Trujillo said: “We’re having a great time. It feels great. You know, we’re still working. It’s gonna be a little while. Everybody’s gotta be patient, you know. But it’s coming, and that’s the beautiful thing, you know. So, yeah, it’s no secret we’re working hard.”

Metallica released two limited edition screen printed black light posters created by renowned artist Dirty Donny (Metallica Pinball, 2005 Met Club T-Shirt). The prints went on sale in the Met Store on Thursday, November 12, 2015 at 1 PM Pacific Time.

These 18″ X 24″ prints will be available on two different paper stocks. The first version is printed on chrome paper and is limited to 100 pieces through the Met Store. Donny will have an additional 100 pieces of the chrome version available on his website as well.

The second version is printed on heavy white stock and is limited to 120 pieces. The heavy white stock version is exclusively available in the Met Store. All prints are signed and numbered by the artist and each will be priced at $89.99 with a limit of one of each color per person.

Fifth Members will have exclusive access to the prints for one week or until they are sold out. After that, any remaining prints will be made available to the public.

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett was interviewed by 103.3 The Edge WEDG-FM radio station and spoke about the writing and recordings sessions for a new Metallica album.

“Well, you know, we’re moving forward. We’re hoping that the album will be released next year. It’s pretty much more along the same lines as ‘Death Magnetic’ — kind of like that direction. And, you know, we’ll see. We’re into it. I don’t wanna say that we’re a third into it, or two-thirds into it, or an eighth into it, ’cause anything could happen that’ll just change that number. But, eventually, you will see a new Metallica album, and it will most likely be in 2016, and at the very worst, at the beginning of 2017.”
