Album
London, Nov. 19, 2016 (Reuters/NAN) Robert Trujillo, the Bassist of U.S. Rock Group Metallica said the group’s new album, “Hardwired… to Self-Destruct’’, could be their best ever.
He said the Group’s Guitarist, Kirk Hammett would always be left feeling something was missing.
Hammett’s contribution to the band’s tenth studio album, and first in eight years, was scaled back after he lost a phone containing scores of riffs during writing sessions.
Trujillo at a Midnight Fan Meets and Greet Session` in London to welcome the album’s release said, “It is something I have had to deal with.
“It’s never a good feeling when something that we work hard at and you put so much time and you have so much expectation for it and all of a sudden disappears. It is the most disappointing thing,’’ he said.
In spite of the disappointment, Hammett believed that Metallica was enjoying a strong creative run.
He said that there was more to come from the group, formed in 1981 and had produced famed songs including `Enter Sandman’.
The band hadsold more than 100 million records worldwide and over 60 million in the U.S. with those numbers set to increase after early positive reviews from critics to ‘’Hardwired… to Self-Destruct’.
Trujillo said producer, Greg Fidelman deserved a lot of credit for his work on the new album.
“It could possibly be the best Metallica album ever; I mean, the sounds are so amazing, the drums, the bass, the vocal production,’’ he said. (Reuters/NAN)
