Rob Trujillo revealed that he will make his singing debut on Metallica , 72 Seasons . The bassist lent his vocals to the track "You Must Burn!", featured on the album which will be released on April 14th.
Trujillo has been a member of Metallica for 20 years, but had never used his vocals on the band's work. In an interview for Metallica's fanzine, So What!, he spoke about the experience (via Loudersound ):
“When I joined Metallica I had never sung in my life, so the fact that I can help with backing vocals now is really cool. For the first time in my life, I can sing on a Metallica album and support James [ Hetfield ]. I’m very proud of that.”
During the conversation, Rob Trujillo also mentions receiving a call from the producer of 72 Seasons , Greg Fidelman , asking him to record some vocals. “He said, ‘I’m going to have you sing on some things too,’ and I replied, ‘Really?’ I got a little nervous,” he admits.
At the same time, Trujillo also said that he felt "very motivated" and that the part he had to sing ended up fitting very well with his "personality and voice," as well as fitting well with the bass breakdown
Last Monday, the 27th, Metallica released a teaser for the fourth single from 72 Seasons , to be released soon . The name of the track has not yet been revealed, but the release is expected to happen next Thursday, the 30th.
