Metallica have recorded an album with Lou Reed
However good or bad the album ends up sounding, I for one am a massive supporter of this move… love that both of these artists are doing something well out of their respective comfort zones.

According to a post on Metallica.com, the legendary four-piece metal band have recorded an album with Lou Reed. No further details regarding release date, style, or anything else concrete has been confirmed, however the album appears to be finished and was recorded in the band's home studio in San Francisco. The statement reads: "We are more than proud to announce that we have just completed recording a full length album that is a collaboration with none other than the legendary Lou Reed. "Ever since we had the pleasure of performing with Lou at the 25th Anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Madison Square Garden in October of 2009, we have been kicking around the idea of making a record together. "Some of you astute Bay Area residents may have picked up news of recent Lou Reed sightings in the greater San Francisco area and we have indeed been working at our home studio at HQ on and off over the last few months. In what would be lightning speed for a Metallica related project, we recorded ten songs during this time and while at this moment we're not exactly sure when you'll hear it, we're beyond excited to share with you that the recording sessions wrapped up last week. http://www.themusicnetwork.com/music-news/artists/2011/06/16/metallica-and-lou-reed-record-album-together/
