Metallica Recording New Album 'Right Now' Says Hetfield

Metallica frontman James Hetfield reveals in a new interview that the band is currently in the studio recording their new album, the long-awaited follow-up to their acclaimed 2008 release "Death Magnetic."

Hetfield made the revelation during an appearance on EMGtv where he was discussing his new Het Set guitar pickups. He said, "We're recording right now, and there's the number one guitar, the number two guitar and here's the third-track guitars that just sound different. They all sound different."

hennemusic reports that the band spent much of the spring and summer on the road while they worked on sifting through hundreds of riffs for the project. "We have a lot of good songs," revealed guitarist Kirk Hammett in April. "The songs are ever-changing at this point. Nothing is etched in stone. We still have a lot of material have to sift through, still. We have well over a dozen songs and we still have well over two or three hundred riffs, too, so it's hard to say at what point we actually are in in the project.

"I don't think we hit the middle point yet. I would say we're at the 25 percent point, maybe 30 percent point. It's hard to say, but I mean we are working on it and there are songs and we're making plans to write more songs and record." Watch Hetfield's EMGtv interviewhere.
