It seems that only 2 and a bit months after the conclusion of their 200+ show World Magnetic tour, Metallica are already planning on making a return to the studio. Drummer Lars Ulrich said the following in an interview with Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet:
"There's a really good vibe in the band at the moment. In the past, we would be fed up with Metallica whenever we returned home after a gigantic world tour, but this time it's different," Ulrich told the newspaper. "Therefore it won't be that long before we start working on a new album. I think that we'll probably already get the creative process going in March or April and go into the studio. We really want to get back to Metallica quickly because we are enjoying it so much right now."
Ulrich goes on to say that they are currently at the strongest point in their 30-year career.
"When I look back, what I'm most proud of is that we've actually survived, that we've lived through the last 30 years and come out of it relatively unscathed and that we are now able to function as a unit, as people and as fathers," said Ulrich. "We found solutions to the problems that we've had instead of letting internal squabbles destroy the band, which, for instance, happened to our friends in Guns N' Roses."
