METALLICA: New Studio Footage Available

June 19, 2008

New "fly-on-the-wall" footage of METALLICA in the studio working on its new album has surfaced on the MissionMetallica.com web site and is available on YouTube. Watch the three-minute clip below.

METALLICA has named its new album "Death Magnetic", according to a message at the band's official web site that also featured a sample of new music. The group's ninth studio effort is expected out in September and will contain either 10 or 11 tracks. No song titles have been confirmed, although "My Apocalypse" was cited as one by Rolling Stone magazine last week. The band did not play any new songs at this past weekend's Bonnaroo festival, although a selected group of U.S. and U.K. journalists have had a chance to preview six tunes from the upcoming release.

"Death Magnetic" was produced by METALLICA and Rick Rubin, and marks the recording debut of bassist Robert Trujillo, who joined the lineup in 2003 shortly after the last METALLICA album, "St. Anger", was completed.

METALLICA will have a few weeks off before hitting some European festivals in July. The band's next U.S. date is the one-day Ozzfest on August 9 in Dallas. A full North American tour is slated to begin in October.
