KERRANG!: NEW METALLICA ALBUM “RULES!”
So apparently Kerrang! have heard a handful of tracks from the new Metallica album, and they’re just raving about ’em:
“Metallica held a listening session in London today to preview a handful of tracks from their forthcoming, as yet untitled ninth studio album. And, we’re happy to report, it RULES!
“The metal kings have been hard at work with producer par excellence Rick Rubin (Slayer/System Of A Down/Red Hot Chili Peppers/Trouble) on the follow-up to 2003’s St Anger. The results, predictably, are very heavy, and very metal…
“…the thrashing riffs, labyrinthine arrangements and in-your-face Metallica thrust are back with full force on the six tracks K! was played, taking in all the colours, moods and shapes of classic ‘Tallica tunes like Master Of Puppets and One. And, best of all, the guitar solos are back!”
To be honest, I don’t exactly trust Kerrang!’s taste these days; I mean, they like 30 Seconds to Mars and Fall Out Boy, fer Chrissakes, and called Daath’s The Hinderers a life changing-experience. Still, take this news for what you will.
