Two brand new interviews popped up on the internet yesterday.
The first was one that Lars did with Spin magazine via a press conference for the Bonnaroo Festival, which Metallica will be playing at this summer. Lars says that the album is just about done, and that it will drop sometime in September. He also says that the band's "graphic designer" will be working with the band soon to finalize the new album cover.

The second interview is one that James did with Rolling Stone following the Wiltern Theater gig. In the interview, James talks about how Master of Puppets was kind of a starting point for the mentality of the new record. He talks about what it's like working with Rick Rubin, and about the direction the band wanted to go in after St. Anger.
