Metallica’s James Hetfield revealed that the band has written over 10 new songs together over Zoom during the pandemic lockdown.
James shared the news during an appearance on the Fierce Life Podcast back in late March. He said (via Louder), “This time was a little different, for sure.
“Because of COVID, just sitting at home and getting a little bit antsy and just feeling creative at the same time and wanting to get together, I started doing a weekly Zoom with those guys just to check in. And then I just told them one time, ‘Hey, I’m gonna write something. I’m just gonna play something and send it to you guys. You do whatever you want with it and see what happens and layer on to it.’
“Then we started experimenting with writing on Zoom. Lars [Ulrich] and I would get together, or Kirk [Hammett] and Lars, and we would get little bits of time here and there writing.
“We started writing. We got about — I don’t know — over 10 songs going that way. And then we finally got together.
