Coldplay comprising of Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Will Champion and Jonny Buckland have been progressing towards new songs "as though they are a metal band".

Coldplay is currently working on their fifth studio album and love experimenting with playing them in different ways, with often surprising results.

Their Roadie #42 blog explained: "Chris suggests playing a gorgeous melody as though they are a metal band. The first stab at this is predictably (and intentionally) comedic.

"They pursue it though, playing one section over and over in a loop, varying the dynamic from pin drop quiet to aggressive and bolshy. They move through the transitions as one unit, as though someone is pressing their foot smoothly on some huge gas pedal somewhere."

The 'Fix you' hitmakers has invited Ash frontman Tim to work on an as-yet unnamed track.
