Robert Trujillo said the idea is to release the next album as soon as possible
Metallica 's new album should "come out faster than the last two," according to bassist Robert Trujillo .
Fans had to wait five years for Death Magnetic in 2008 and eight years for Hardwired… To Self-Destruct in 2016.
Trujillo said the group has already started "playing around" with the new material while on tour.
“We have a place we call 'The Tuning Room,' which is a space where we can jam and warm up. We're always there coming up with new ideas, and everything is always recorded. And at home, of course, everyone has ideas,” he explained.
“ Death Magnetic was, for the most part, a collaborative effort. Hardwired James [Hetfield] 's specific ideas . I'm looking forward to the next one because I think it will be a continuation of the previous two.”
Regarding a possible release date for Metallica's next album, Trujillo said: "It will come out much sooner than the previous two. Hopefully, we'll be able to get into the studio soon."
