METALLICA have feverishly begun to record their 9th studio album in Los Angeles. The band, who commenced recording sessions this past week, will hole themselves up in the studio through June, hit the road as part of the Sick of the Studio Tour, then finish recording in August. An update from Metallica.com is as follows:

“Metallica left the comfort of HQ this week to descend upon the greater Los Angeles area to begin recording their 9th original album. This is the first time they’ve recorded outside of the Bay Area since they spent an eternity at One-On-One Studios recording The Black Album in ‘90 and ‘91. The last couple days have been devoted to each band member working out the right sounds, including Lars who remembered to turn on the snare and Kirk who played a solo! The big, shiny red button was finally pushed today - and the wait begins.”

The first few glimpses of METALLICA in the studio can also be seen here.
