| Rick Rubin to produce Metallica’s Death Magnetic follow-up |
     |
Trujillo says that Rick Rubin is the right man to deliver another double platinum riff-monster
Metallica will be working with legendary producer Rick Rubin on its follow-up to 2008′s “Death Magnetic,” according to bassist Robert Trujillo.
“Yeah, I love working with Rick,” Trujillo told KCLB-FM in Palm Springs Saturday at the Big 4 concert at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. “Rick, to me, he’s sort of a Zen guru spirit that Metallica needs right now. Not to say that we need it right now, ’cause we’re getting along incredibly well, we’re really excited to write some new music. There’s no shortage of riffage in Metallica world right now. And I think it’s only gonna get better.”
Trujillo and Rubin shared something in common when the group recorded “Death Magnetic.”
“The first album with Rick was also the first album for me, so in a lot of ways, you’re kind of testing the water,” Robert said. “Now that we’re comfortable with Rick and his incredible engineer, Greg Fidelman, who worked with Slayer, actually, on this last record — it’s my hero — it’s a great team. And it’s only gonna better; I really believe that. So I’m super-excited.”
He added, “I know that we’ve got another couple [of records] in us. And I think there’s a demand. It seems like we’ve got some new fans, and they’re waiting [for new music from Metallica].”
“Death Magnetic” was officially certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on June 28, 2010 for shipments in the United States in excess of two million copies.
