Metallica is coming up with a new album and members of the band are all excited to finish the record after guitarist Kirk Hammett and singer James Hetfield revealed their progress.

In an article posted by Loud Wire, the Metallica singer talked about the current progress of the new album, wherein he was excited to reveal how they recorded the guitar parts and what guitars they have been using.

"I tell ya, we're recording right now, and there's the number one guitar, there's the number two guitar, there's the number three," Hetfield said in an interview. "And here's the third-track guitars that just sound different. They all sound different."

"Unbelievable to be sitting here thinking I designed a guitar, well, I'm not gonna take all the credit obviously, but taking a classic shape, redesigning and thinking of the idea for developing a clean pickup that had dynamics, that had power and having it sit here in a guitar and me recording an album after 35 years with it - awesome."

A few months back, guitarist Kirk Hammett talked to Billboard and revealed that they are in the early stages of the new Metallica album. He revealed how they have a long list of songs lined up and the number of riffs they have prepared for the record.

"We have well over a dozen songs and we still have well over two or three hundred riffs, too, so it's hard to say at what point we actually are in in the project," the Metallica guitarist said. "I don't think we hit the middle point yet. I would say we're at the 25 percent point, maybe 30 percent point."

Although there are no official words regarding the new album from Metallica, the band is expected to come up with the record anytime in 2016.
