14.09 Metallica Pledges To Keep “Impulsive Energy” in New Album
MOSCOW, September 14 (RIA Novosti) – US rockers Metallica will keep its trademark “impulsive energy” in the thrash metal band’s upcoming album, the band’s founder and drummer Lars Ulrich said Saturday.
The band’s last effort, Death Magnetic, was released in 2008 and marked Metallica’s effort to return to its 1980s’ sound that made it one of the most successful heavy metal acts of the 1980s.
Ulrich said that the band had just started working on the yet unnamed album. Addressing journalists at RIA Novosti’s press center in Moscow, he said that the new album will present “Metallica the way it used to be.”
“Without a doubt, we will be true to our impulsive energy,” the 49-year-old drummer said.
Founded by Ulrich and guitarist and singer James Hetfield in 1981, Metallica recorded nine albums that sold more than 100 copies worldwide, according to the band’s website.
