While Metallica's Death Magnetic, the band's ninth studio album, idles quietly in oblivion until its unknown September release date, the metal band have gone on to tease us with its tracklist. The Rick Rubin-produced 10-track record is the first time the band have worked on an entire studio album with current bassist Robert Trujillo. Among Death Magnetic's cryptic titles is the third version of "The Unforgiven." The original (and best) of course appeared on 1991's Bl... MORE

- When considering their latest album, it’s important to bear in mind the lasting power of Metallica’s legacy, especially when taking into consideration the weak efforts of the past couple decades. This is a band that had had a hand in building up the traditional Thrash framework throughout the 80s into an impenetrable fortress. But the [...]

The amazing M.I.A. in action. Photos by Charley Rogulewski Every Bonnaroo becomes its own epic story, outrageous accounts into the weird, unpredictable that couldn’t be made up, even if you tried…hard. This year mine started off checking into the Park Motel, a small mom and pop operation on main street Manchester, TN (same zip as Bonnaroo) followed by two DEA agents. As the DEA agents busted up an illegal drug trafficking operation, a meth lab perhaps, I got into my... MORE

While new details the Metallica's Death Magnetic begin to surface, frontman James Hetfield is giving fans a little more insight on the album title. "It started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like Layne Stanley and a lot of the people that have died, basically — rock and roll martyrs of sorts. And then it kind of grew from there," Hetfield explained of the term Death Magnetic. In 2002 Stanley, the frontman of Alice in Chains, was ... MORE

The inevitable happened on Tuesday night, when Death Magnetic hit the leak wire. The very next day, Lars responded on a radio show in California, claiming, "Listen, we’re ten days from release. I mean, from here, we’re golden. If this thing leaks all over the world today or tomorrow, happy days. Happy days. Trust me. [...]

According to "Billboard.com":http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003850675 this was Metallica’s highest first week sales number since 1996's Load, which sold 680,000 its first week out.

The release of Metallica's so called "Black Album" saw them projected in popularity from that of fellow Thrash bands, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth and into the area of multi-platinum record sales. In listening to this album over the course of a week I came to realise just how much it reminds me of late 70's and early 80's British Metal. I feel that the overall reduction in speed that this album took, seems to cause the band's early influences to come forward through the m... MORE

This isn’t any new news but I saw that it was missing from the mog-o-shpere and I wanted some input.
Since May Metallica have been airing Death Magnetic studio footage via their subscriber site MissionMetallica.com. Still no specific September release date has been given for the Rick Rubin-produced album, but Metallica has revealed (and this is what was missing from the mog-o-sphere) that it will be coughing up the first in five years in three different versions.

David Fricke of RollingStone.com recently conducted an interview with Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow. RollingStone.com: You have been working on the new Metallica album for almost three years. How do you know which riffs and solos to keep and which to throw out? Kirk: I know whether I'm cutting it or not. And I always try to make a solo the best it can be. I recorded over 100 solos for one track on this album — and the s... MORE

I'm guessing there's a good two hours until this thing gets taken down from YouTube... so enjoy it while it lasts. For those latecomers, Metallica playing and kicking up dust in the desert intertwines with politically-charged storyline. Soldiers are fighting in the Middle East, getting shot, then a car pulls up. The soldiers don't know whether to shoot the people in it, possible suicide bombers, or not. To see what the US trooper does you got to watch. At minute 4:40 this ... MORE

Metallica took to the stage amidst resounding cheers last night (Wednesday, May 14) at Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. Below, fan filmed footage of the sold out 2,200 seat venue. The clips gives us a good look at this much smaller, exclusive performance. I know what you're thinking (it's what most people think) 'come on Sturg, Metllica should have broken up 10-15-20 years ago, this post is lame.' OK SURE. You might have a point. But! I think when it's all said and d... MORE

Back in the 80s, when I was a troubled youth attending high school in New Jersey, night time radio was far more interesting than it is now. Before the internets, before the explosion of channels on cable, radio had some good stuff. And some of it happened at night. I remember discovering a show on WXRK one night. Jimmy Fink hosted it. I think it was called "Heavy Metal from Hell" but I'm not entirely sure. Jimmy Fink played all kinds of hard rock, both old and new... MORE
