Mystery Image Updated On METALLICA Website
June 13, 2008, 16 years ago
A mysterious image that recently appeared at METALLICA's official website under the news headline "???" has been updated.
No word yet whether it's a new band logo or relates to the artwork for the band's forthcoming album, due out in September. Check out the image on the left, click to enlarge.
Set for a September release on Warner Bros., Metallica's still-untitled new album is their first since 2003's St. Anger and their first with bassist Robert Trujillo, who joined in February of that year.
It is also a stunning, overdue return to the shock and rush of the band's speed-metal monuments, 1984's Ride The Lightning and 1986's Master of Puppets.
The 10 long tracks are all multi-riff blizzards with jolting rhythm swerves, while lead guitarist Kirk Hammett makes up for the no-solos asceticism of St. Anger with vintage bursts of cackling-hyena wah-wah.
