St. Vincent recently released her new album Daddy's Home, which was noticeably not the Tool-inspired record she intends to make at some point. Still, St. Vincent recently covered Metallica for their upcoming Black Album compilation, as well as Nine Inch Nails for a Record Store Day release.
Speaking with NME, St. Vincent said she's feeling particularly angry once again and hopes to make the metal record she's wanted to make soon.
"Yeah, it does – because I'm angry again! I want to make that record. There's a season for all of it. There's a season for warmth and then there's a season for 'fuck you'!"
St. Vincent also touched on her covers in that same interview.
"Metallica to me are a bit more of a nostalgic love. I played bass in a metal band when I was 13 and always wanted to be the guitar player! Bass was the only position that no one wanted. They have a very specific personality type. If you need a friend, then a bass player is always solid. You can't really fuck around with drummers and lead guitars, but it's in a bassist's personality type to be deeply supportive and bring everyone together.
"Anyway, we played those songs at junior high talent shows. It was fun to get under the hood. You think you know a song, then you really play it and it's so interesting. I really found that with ‘Piggy'."
