Metallica's new album all set to release this year!

LONDON: Heavy metal band Metallica's new album is almost complete and should be out this year

Drummer Lars Ulrich, who is one of the founding members of the band, has revealed that the next album is "pretty close" to being finished, reported Digital Spy.

"There's a record coming at some point, in the future. Not soon enough, but we are pretty close. Unless something drastic happens, it will come out this year," Ulrich said.



The legendary musician is happy with the way things are turning out for their new album.

"We should be done with it this spring. I don't know what else to say, there's no title yet, there's a bunch of songs, it sounds like Metallica, it's all good!" he said.
