November 25, 2008, 15 years ago
According to NME.com, METALLICA are considering releasing their new album online, but drummer Lars Ulrich says that their next record might be a while coming.
The band recently came to the end of their record deal, and are weighing up all the options, which could include a regular label release.
“We’re free of our record contract,” Ulrich told Rolling Stone. “We have that element of complete freedom with the next record, so we can do whatever we want. We could do an internet thing or even put it on Andy Greene’s record label.”Despite the fact that the band’s most recent album Death Magnetic was well-received, the band are in no rush to churn out another album anytime soon.
“I wouldn’t hold my breath for another Metallica record,” Ulrich said. “I’m still decompressing and coming down from the whole experience of the last one, but if we spit one out every four or five years that’s not so bad.”
