METALLICA's Death Magnetic To Be Released In Finland On September 17th
June 26, 2008, 16 years ago
Finland's Record Shop X has a September 17th release date scheduled for METALLICA's upcoming studio album, Death Magnetic.
Set for a September worldwide release on Warner Bros., Death Magnetic is Metallica's first album since 2003's St. Anger and their first with bassist Robert Trujillo, who joined in February of that year.
Death Magnetic is "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," according to Rolling Stone.
According to BW&BK; sources, the album will be preceded by an eight-minute single which is being described as "a tour de force that features some of their fastest playing ever." The record is being produced by Rick Rubin (SLAYER, RED HOT CHILI PEPERS) and mixed by Greg Fidelman.
