Hetfield told Billboard, "I want it done yesterday and [Orion Music + More] and this movie is keeping us pretty busy at this point and it's taking a lot of time and effort. We've been touring some obscure places. I guess basically what we're trying to do is pay for this movie, so touring is keeping us from getting in there and finishing the record. Right now the focus is the movie."
