Metallica‘s new album ‘ST ANGER’, set for release in June, will be “pretty aggressive” according to drummer LARS ULRICH.
He said the band had been unfocused for much of the year-and-a-half recording process, but within the last few months rediscovered their old “heavy, dynamic” style.
Speaking to mtv.com, he explained: “We’ve been a lot of different places musically over the last year and a half, and a couple of months go we sort of came back around to some heavy, aggressive, fast, dynamic, a lot of tempo changes, kind of shit. And that felt really comfortable again. We hadn’t done it for a while. Maybe we were keeping it at bay, whatever. All of a sudden it was like that old pair of shoes you have in the closet that you haven’t worn for a while, but that felt really fucking good to have on again.”
He added: “It’s pretty aggressive, and the people who like that side of us will not be disappointed.”
