New METALLICA Producer Spotlighted In USA TODAY

July 7, 2006

METALLICA's new producer Rick Rubin, who has previously worked with such artists as SLAYER, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and AUDIOSLAVE, is spotlighted in a new article on USAToday.com.

Declared by Rolling Stone the most successful producer in any genre, Rubin is the oracle of audio, a studio savant whose highly sought services launch trends and resuscitate icons. He's having a banner year as the knob-twirler behind a trio of hot albums. The RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS' "Stadium Arcadium" bowed at No. 1 in May, followed two weeks later by the chart-topping debut of the DIXIE CHICKS' "Taking the Long Way". This week, JOHNNY CASH's posthumous "American V: A Hundred Highways", the fifth collaboration between Rubin and the country giant, hit shelves.

More is in the pipeline. Rubin is producing music by LINKIN PARK, METALLICA and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and is executive producer of SLAYER's "Christ Illusion", out Aug. 8.
