Metallica - Death Magnetic

Metallica have announced their tenth studio album, Death Magnetic, will be released globally on Friday, September 12th 2008.

News about Death Magnetic has been flowing out of Metallica's camp via the band's official website (www.metallica.com) and a brand-new site, www.missionmetallica.com, which offers users a unique, ground-breaking look-in on the making of the album, with producer Rick Rubin.

Fans who can't wait for the September 12th release date will be able to access a digital-edition version of the album, to be delivered at midnight on release day, by joining the free site, which launched on May 29th. Missionmetallica.com features a treasure trove of exclusive content, including the low-down from the band members themselves about their progress in the studio via fly-on-the-wall video footage, live concerts downloads, exclusive new and never-before-seen archival photos from the studio, contests to fly to foreign lands to see the band perform and much much more.

Metallica are currently finishing up the mixing and mastering of Death Magnetic. The cover art and full-track-listing (below) have been posted at missionmetallica.com, where fans can purchase the album plus web content in various configurations.
