Rob Trujillo on stage in 2016

Metallica bassist Rob Trujillo has revealed that he will be providing recorded vocals for the metal legends for the very first time on the band's new album 72 Seasons, twenty years after he first joined the fold.

Speaking to Metallica fanzine So What!, the 58-year-old metal legend says: "When I joined Metallica, I'd never sung in my whole life, so the fact that I can now support a backup vocal is pretty cool. For the first time in my life, I get to sing on a Metallica record and support James [Hetfield, Metallica frontman]. I'm very proud of that.
