Drummer Lars Ulrich also revealed recently that the band are hard at work on a new record.

"We're three, four weeks into some pretty serious writing," he said. "And of all the shit – pandemics, fires, politics, race problems, and just fucking looking at the state of the world – it's so easy just to so fall into a depressive state. But writing always makes me feel enthusiastic about what's next. It's like, 'Fuck, there's an opportunity here to still make the best record, to still make a difference. To still do something that not even turns other people on, but turns me on.'"
