METALLICA's 'Death Magnetic' Arrives In UK Early?
- Sep. 10, 2008
|
|
According to various online reports (including fan accounts on METALLICA's official message board), several UK retailers — including HMV and Zavvi — have begun selling METALLICA's new album, "Death Magnetic", ahead of its September 12 official worldwide release date — presumably in response to the fact that the album was leaked in its entirety last week. HMV, which currently owns over 50% of the music retail market in the UK, reportedly has the CD on sale for £9.99 (approximately $20). METALLICA's official web site is currently streaming no less than six full songs from the band's forthcoming "Death Magnetic" album. The tracks, which were all premiered during last week's "Metallica: The World Premiere Of Death Magnetic", hosted by FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl and drummer Taylor Hawkins and broadcast live from METALLICA's headquarters in San Rafael, California, are as follows: * "The Day That Never Comes"* "My Apocalypse"* "Cyanide"* "All Nightmare Long"* "Broken, Beat & Scarred"* "The Judas Kiss"Several copies of "Death Magnetic" were sold early at a Paris record store on September 2, which led to the entire album being leaked online within hours. Due on September 12, "Death Magnetic" will also be available to download for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock the same day that the record is released. METALLICA will play two low-dough shows in Europe to celebrate the CD's release, in Berlin on September 12 and London on September 15. Tickets for both are priced under $20 and open to fan club members only. The band will kick off its first indoor North American tour on October 21 in Glendale, Arizona, with shows booked through the end of January.

HMV is definately selling early. I was in town today and noticed the signs up (home made signs written in marker pen) to say they had it for sale.
Not sure about Zavvi as I never went into it.
To be honest I do not like what I have heard from the album so doubt I will be buying it. Seems to be the usual of them saying they are going back to their roots when in reality it sounds nothing like it. They said the same about St Anger and no doubt will say the same about the next album.

So What! It will eventually come out. Some retailers might do not figure the date out anyway, or some stupid clerk put the cd on the table or something.... Death Magnetic is in its way, and I am purchasing the Coffin, yeah

I`d written Metallica off, haven`t liked anything by them at all since the Black album and haven`t *really* liked anything since Justice but this has pleasantly surprised me. It`s no golden classic or anyhting but it`s a good metal album and one I`ve pre-ordered. There`s life in the old dogs yet!

Can everyone just download it and realise its shit already and get this shit off the news bulletins! I wanna hear about real, good bands. I love Metallica but they're past it and I'd rather they, as a band, had an honourable death now(or 18 years ago preferrably) with a good back catalogue than watch them deteriorate even more and live on for the next 30 years producing awful albums.

fuck off already. I won't convince myself that I don't like it cause you tirds don't. You bashers can't decide if they have just rehashed the old stuff, can't write anything like the old stuff(fairly contradictory), or are still sounding like st. anger.
What's the difference between my opinion and yours? Not a damn thing. With the exception that I don't shoving my negative opinions into threads of bands I don't like. I just IGNORE the topic altogether.

not sure if you got my reply to your question. I agree with Coffinworm. Cavalera Conspiracy's Inflikted is engineered to perfection. A metal production doesn't get any better than that.
Also Dimmu always has good production. The Black album had good engineering. New Volbeat has wicked sound too. Too many to mention here.

Been a fan since I first heard Leper Messiah back in '86. The 'Master' album took my music listening to a new heavy, and the 'Justice' album (guitar and drumwise) influenced my playing big-time. Because of Metallica, I got into Motorhead, Slayer, Kreator, Coroner, Carcass, Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, Terrorizer, etc.
Was I disappointed when that Black album came out? Yes. But I understood where they were going. Did I agree with it? No. Nothing released from them over the past 20 years impressed me, but I still bougtht their albums. After-all, these guys were HUGE to me in my musical growing up and playing, so I was always curious.
Then along came Death Magnetic. I've heard it, and am quite impressed. To me, this is the follow-up to 'And Justice For All', and I'm glad they finally got around to putting it out.

I guess I could complain about the criminally high cd prices in Europe (relative to the US), but then again I would not even buy Death Magnetic if it'd cost the equivalent of 5 dollars over here... which I'm sure will be its retail price within a few months anyway, because this turd is sure to hit the sales bin in no time.

what a ripp off
i'm not buying it, this is the only metallica album ive not bought.
yes, i even bought the last 3, i liked load, and st anger, although reload is pretty much unlistenable except 2 / 3 songs. obvisiously love the first 4, blacks good too.
i've listened to the download of DM about 10 times, i'm just not getting it, no memorable hooks or chorus's, kirks solos are shit, i like about 3 songs on the album. i don't like the name, and the artwork is pretty lame...
what a fucking let down

But I still don't know, where to place this album within the efforts of Metallica:
1. Point: Snare is most time better than last album - but why distorted at the failed One-Retry-Song (watched the video last night on MTV) ???
2. That Song could be great w/o misplaced brakes and the video sucks as hell (Chicks under that Stuff-Prison don't have a sexy glance on foreign soldiers, they are slaves and are forced to look down to earth by their owners. And so the story at a check point ends in another way: Rat Dat Dat Ta Daa - Male (ball-less idiots) Suicidal Bombers are common in abusing the Stuff-Prison).
3. The Wah Wah pushed sound of Kirk´s Soli rock as HELL !!!
4. Let´s check "the Rest" tomorrow!

************NEWS FLASH******************
*****************************************
Kirk Hammett has been rushed to hospital with a cracked pelvis, 2 cracked vertebrae, and a fractured skull.....
News reports say that he was climbing down from James' 4X4 when the wah pedal that is permanantly attached to his foot got caught in the seat belt mount and he fell head first into Lars' ego.
A bystander who rushed over to help (who has since been named as a Mr Newsted), apparantly try to perform CPR, but used a little too much pressure cracking 2 bones in the scrawny little Irish Filipino's neck ....

as if Hetfield and Ulrich had banged anything but their very own cashdesk. You're really funny, I guess the like of a typical idiot fankid jerking off to every trend metal. You're either born to late to know when they stopped partying, or you're simply dumb.
If you want to be a true fankid, learn the facts.
I still like Metallica, but I equally like "cookie monster" metal (which some kiddies on here like to refer to.) Oh, well, back in the day, they liked Bathory and Celtic Frost - your heroes loved cookie monster stuff. OMG - clash of civilizations!

Back when the iron Maiden/BLS wars were on these boards, along with post-Dime shit, Riot and I had a few great conversations.
But now that all these fucks are in here, bashing the shit out of everything, I ASSUME Riot comes here and basically posts his shit, gets the metal music news and leaves.
funny thing is, people bash him and he could care less.

You are a poser. Go back to the METALLICA posts to defend the indefensible.
I thought you were a REAL metalhead always defending METALLICA, and thought you were going to post on the NECRODEATH news (one of the best THRASH metal bands of today) but I found that you are just a poser. You don't have credibility, specially when you also bash Opeth. So shut up already. You are just the typical guy that listens to the average most mainstream sucking metal.

just walked past hmv today and they were blasting death magnetic and. it sounded amazing so i bought it. put it in my car (my car sound system is amazing) and yep i love it... its heavy fast and got gd tunes..
im a fan that pretty much likes most there stuff not really st anger...
the reason is there albums fit different moods. load is a good chunky album with gd vocals that you can sing along to. but when i fancy thrash ive got mop
this album seems to fit all of them in some places it reminds me of load but i can hear older riffs that would fit on there first 3 albums and some times vocals in it.. the first song blows ya away i love it..
poo girl in hmv tho it was 9am and she doesn't like rock let alone metal and they had it blasting i mean you could hear it down the street bless
metallica are class..
