METALLICA Isn't Even Planning on Hitting The Studio Until 2015

Lars is hopeful they will enter the studio early next year.

Lars is hopeful they will enter the studio early next year.

Metallica might have released a new song demo a few weeks ago to entice fans to see them live on their various fest dates this summer, but don't get too excited.

Even though they've joked that they are one day closer to a new album or said they are a "few weeks" away from writing, in a new interview, drummer Lars Ulrich says the band isn't even hitting the studio until next year the earliest.

The last, I don't know, six months, we finished our movie, we went to the Antarctic, we played the Grammys again, which was nice. We've started writing songs and preparing for the next record, so that's very exciting. We're down here among all of you beautiful people and playing [the] 'By Request' [setlist] and going to new places. We were in Quito two days ago, where we'd never been [before]. We're playing a new song ['The Lords Of Summer'] on stage, which people seem to be very receptive to. We're writing away. We've got some good ideas. Our biggest problem is not the ideas, our biggest problem is time. Metallica is busier than ever, and it just seems like there's more and more going on and the days get shorter and shorter. But, hopefully, we will be done writing this year and next year we should record and hopefully have a new record out maybe next year. We'll see. Hopefully next year.

Metallica just keep adding things to their plate and have even admitted to procrastinating a new album previously and it's clear that there are much higher priorities for the band currently. So don't get your hopes up for new Metallica in the very near future.
