According to a posting on fan website Ateaseweb by member the king left, some of the band were at a Spoon listening party.Radiohead members Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien and producer Nigel Godrich turned up to the playback taking place in New York.The poster wrote: "They're in the city mastering the album. Then they're going to listen to it, see what they think. So, we're almost there, maybe."The poster's friend Marty also asked Greenwood if one of the much mooted tracks would make it onto the release.He wrote: "Oh yeah when Marty asked Colin (Greenwood) if 'Nude' was going to be on LP7Colin looked uncomfortable, said "hehe hehe, maybe, if we can do it right..." and slinked back inside. This was after Marty gave him a Camel Ultra Light too. Some people, I tell you. Favours for favour(s) my ass."A release date for the album has yet to be announced, but it is believed the album, the follow-up to 2003's 'Hail To The Thief', will be out before the end of the year.

Metallica to release new album in 2008
Posten on: 2007-07-03 14:47:18
In a recent interview, Lars Ulrich, Metallica's drummer said that the heavy metal group plan to release a new album in the year to come. The group already recorded the backing tracks for what is goind to be their ninth studio album. While at Belgium's Rock Werchter Festival, the drummer confirmed that Metallica are aiming to release the follow-up to 2003's 'St Anger' in February 2008."It doesn't sound like 'St. Anger' to me," he told Studio Brussel. "It's a little early to kind of put in a soundbite exactly. But it doesn't sound anything like 'St. Anger'."It's probably a little more dynamic, and a little more varied, and it has lots of different nutty Metallica stuff on it."The band are currently in the midst of touring the European festival circuit. They're set to play Live Earth at London's Wembley Stadium on July 7.
