On Wednesday June 04 Metallica?s management flew into London to exclusively play almost finished tracks from the San Francisco giant?s new studio album.
Set for a release in late August / early September, the as-yet-untitled album is in the final stages of mixing. Recorded with Rick Rubin, the album will feature 10 tracks and clock in at around the 75-minute mark.
The album has been described as ?nine epics and one song?, with each of the nine tracks being between six to eight minutes in length. Like the recent Death Cab For Cutie single, the first release is eight minutes in length.
On first impressions and just one listen, Rock Sound can confirm that the songs we?ve heard sound very much like classic Metallica in vibe, harking back to the days of ?Master Of Puppets?, ??And Justice For All? (but with bass) and ?The Black Album? ? without sounding dated or tired.
Of the six tracks Rock Sound heard, only one had a working title ? ?Flamingo?. With a slow intro, the song was reminiscent of ?Battery? in vibe, with two guitar solos and an undercurrent of melody and groove.
The first single is an epic power rocker in the vein of ?The Unforgiven?, ?Nothing Else Matters? and ?Sanatorium?, with a mid-temp, head-banging section and some Thin Lizzy-esque twin guitar riffage.
Another song features the lyrics, ?Into abyss, you don?t exist, you can?t resist the Judas kiss?; another features an almost RATM-esque drum ?n? bass undercurrent and lyrics about ?suicide? and cyanide?; while the final song we heard, dubbed ?The Song?, clocks in at under five minutes and is a galloping thrash attack with quirks, and a sniff of Testament about it!
We suspect other song titles could include, ?Die Hard?, ?Show Your Scars?, and ?My Apocalypse? ? but we cannot be held responsible if none of these titles or lyrics are accurate!
Thankfully ? there are plenty of Kirk Hammett traditional guitar solos and a decent drum sound. Hetfield?s voice sounds in fine form too.
All of the songs have many different parts to them, giving the impression that the quartet is revisiting the epic vibe of the band?s ?classic? period.
To avoid recording the songs, Mr Ulrich had demanded all mobile phones were left at the door.
