[Exclusive] Metallica Confirm New Album Title: Announce New Producer

Update: Yes, this was an April Fool’s joke.

Bloody-Disgusting is thrilled to be the first to let you know the new title of Metallica‘s upcoming album AND who the new producer is going to be! Check below for the exclusive details.

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has confirmed that the new album will be titled Reloaded.
Lars states, “We really think that we were the most creative and free with the Load and Reload albums and we want to return to that mindset. It was just a time when we could play whatever we want and do whatever we want, because, let’s face it, we were and still are the biggest metal band in the world. So, yeah, we’re returning to that musical style and finishing up the trilogy!”
Lars also dropped a big bombshell by stating that the band has fired Death Magnetic producer Rick Rubin and would be once again working with producer Bob Rock. Rock began working with Metallica on the multiplatinum The Black Album but was fired after St. Anger was critically panned.
“Bob helped us achieve the greatest selling album of the Nielsen Soundscan Era. You better believe we want to work with him again! We made a huge mistake by working with Rick Rubin on Death Magnetic. I really think that might be the weakest album in our history.”

Reloaded has an undetermined release date of later this year, possibly early next year.

‘The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only Live’ Concert Event to Make Streaming Debut Next Month

The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only Live

AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.

The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.

Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24. 

Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”

Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.

The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.

Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.

The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
