In a recent interview with The Irish Times, SLAYER axeman Kerry King was asked what he thinks on the fact that METALLICA hasn’t released a new studio album since 2008 (Death Magnetic).
He says: “Funny thing is, I brought that up last night. We were sitting around having some shots, and I said, ‘When’s METALLICA doing a new record?’ When you think about it, it’s kind of like us. You don’t have to put out a new record. People will come up to a certain point, because you’ve got such a catalogue. You can just keeping changing songs.”
He added: “They are really living on the first five records, I think. I’m not sure a new record makes sense for them. Death Magnetic was a nice version compared to St Anger. Hopefully, they keep going along that line and get some of the riffs back.”
