Lars: Metallica need to make a new record

Lars sat down with Metal Hammer for a special video interview where he talked at length about the possibility of a new album.

Lars covered last year’s epic Through The Never movie, the likelihood of ever bringing that massive stage show on the road and, of course, that new album of theirs.
