Metallica’s founder and drummer Lars Ulrich has been reporting lately that their new CD, “Dynamic” is close to being a completed product. According to Ulrich, the band is “pretty much finished the music now”, and is beginning to take album development to the next level.

Metallica members have already begun to meet with graphic designers, trying to come up with a cover/insert concept that works, and begin working on packaging of the new album, which, according to Ulrich, should be finished by Memorial Day, and should be released mid-September…and you can look for a tour beginning in October.

So, what does it sound like?

“We sort of promised ourselves that unlike all the records we made in the ’90s, [which] were just completely stressed-out and just nutty, that we were gonna try and have a little more sane environment - and we’ve actually, surprising mostly to ourselves, been able to keep to that,” says Ulrich. Sanity aside, the songs (which the band refers to as ‘long’) are “all over the place”, hearkening back to the days when the mighty Metallica wore their thrash-metal hats.

According to Ulrich, “It’s more like some of the earlier records, which were a little more dynamic within the songs. And on those records, there were a lot of long songs that were - without sounding too corny - journeys. You’d go here and then you’d go over here and then this, and then that would happen. It feels like kind of a lot of that stuff. It’s difficult for me to sit down and brand it yet, because I’m still so close to it.”

According to the band, the new album, “Dynamic”, will probably only contain around ten songs, due to the length. Regardless, fans will be waiting to get their hands on the CD this September.
