Billboard.com's Gary Graff reports:

As it prepares for its second Orion Music + More festival, taking place this year June 8th - 9th on Belle Isle in Detroit after starting last year in Atlantic City, METALLICA also has its sights on future projects - including its upcoming 3D film and a follow-up to 2008's Death Magnetic (and the 2011 Beyond Magnetic EP).

"I want it done yesterday," frontman James Hetfield tells Billboard about the group's next album, "and (Orion) and this movie is keeping us pretty busy at this point and it's taking a lot of our time and effort. We've been touring some obscure places; I guess basically what we're trying to do is pay for this movie, so the touring is keeping us from getting in there and finishing the record. Right now the focus is on the movie."

That said, Hetfield adds that the quartet has at least made a start on a new album.

"Yeah, we got out into the room and jammed and we've come up with enough material for a record, for sure," Hetfield says. "We've gone through maybe one-tenth of the material that's on our riffs CDs. We've got enough for an album, we just haven't had enough time to really focus on it and dial in and start whittling it into these masterpieces, hopefully."
