Excerpts from Metal Hammer Magazine's interview with Lars Ulrich has been posted online:

You've already recorded the drum, guitar and bass tracks for the new album, with the rest to be added some time in August?

Lars: "The backing tracks are done, yeah. but Rick likes to keep things organic and work in a way that can be described as 'of the moment'. If we continue in August we should be done by October".

Rubin isn't known for being to giving with his time. What role has he played in the sessions?

Lars: "He's been there every single day so far, He's all about the big picture. He doesn't analyse things like drum tempos or tell James to play something in F#. He's more about the feel: is everyone playing together? Rick's a vibe guy".
