The retailer also lists a five-LP version of Death Magnetic which will be available.
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.
Metallica are featured in BW&BK; and metal know-it-all and smart ass Eric Braverman's new TV show, The Greatest Music Ever Created And How It Ruined Our Lives. More on the show here. Check out the first episode below....
