Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has revealed his band will begin work on a new album in 2011. The drummer admits they \"really want to begin writing\" the follow-up to 2008\'s \'Death Magnetic\'. Says Lars:\"There\'s a bunch of balls in the air for 2011. But I think the main one is we really want to get back to writing again. We haven\'t really written since, what, 2006, 2007 and we want to get back to kind of just being creative again. Right now we are going to just chill out and then probably start up again in, I\'d say, March or April. And start probably putting the creative cap back on and start writing some songs.\"
The drummer also explained that another tour with the \'Big Four\' (featuring Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth) is also on the cards.
On June 22nd, 2010 Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax shared a stage together in Sofia, Bulgaria. It was the moment fans had waited decades for. That monumental show was beamed live into over 1000 theaters worldwide via satellite in a special HD cinematic event.
Earlier this month, this legendary concert becane available on dvd and Blu-ray through Warner Bros. Records. \'The Big Four Live From Sofia\' includes full shows from all four bands on a two-disc set as well as behind the scenes and interview footage.
