Metallica have revealed a very special, secret, new album has been in the works, which guitarist Kirk Hammett allegedly hinted at a month or two back. If I still followed the band like a teenager follows a pair of breasts, then I may have known that.
So what’s the secret album? A collaboration with Dave Mustaine? A Big Four all stars album? A return to actually releasing decent Metal?
Nope, none of those things. It’s a collaboration album with Velvet Underground frontman Lou Reed. Wow, sounds exciting…
The album as of yet does not have a release date. In addition, the majority of the music is apparently sung and written by Lou Reed, so please excuse me whilst I don’t give a rat’s ass. If you’re interested, more information can be found at Blabbermouth and Rolling Stones.
You can watch a video of Metallica performing with Lou Reed above. If it’s an indication of what the album will sound like, I won’t be checking it out.
