Report: Metallica finishes “Death Magnetic”…

Leave a comment

Metallica announced on the band’s website that the band is completed with their 9th studio album “Death Magnetic”, it’s all mixed and mastered, it’s ready to go! The album was produced by the legendary Rick Rubin and it was recorded in three different studios: Sound City Studios, Shangri La Studios, and the HQ studio that the band owns themselves.

The first single “The Day That Never Comes” will be released sometime this month (I’m sure that song will be released a little earlier on MissionMetallica.com).

The album is scheduled to release on a Friday, September 12th.

Looking forward to hearing “The Day That Never Comes” this month. I’m sure the official video to that song will be posted in youtube and when it does, I’ll post it here.

Cool Video: Kirk Hammett recording riffs in studio for “Death Magnetic”…

Leave a comment

This video was posted on the Mission: Metallica site, while I’m not a payed registered member to Mission: Metallica, all the videos in the studio being posted there get leaked to youtube anyways.

Kirk Hammett here is recording riffs to go behind James Hetfield’s vocals in a song Kirk and the producers are recording. While Kirk was recording a few riffs down, the producer hands Kirk a “flanger” pedal. The producer asked him to use that pedal, Kirk looks at it a few minutes, and then he hooks it up to the amp and rocks out.

After the producer played back the recorded riffs Kirk just recorded in the video, the producer asked him to make a cool effect out of that flanger. And the sound is way badass. It sounds fuckin’ metal. The way Metallica is supposed to be, not that alternative rock shit they did in “Load/Reload/St. Anger”.

Check it out!

Report: Guitar Hero to Rock Band, “Oh yeah, well take this Rock Band, you get new Guns N’ Roses, we get NEW Metallica album, hahahahaha…”

Yeah, it’s definitely Guitar Hero vs. Rock Band alright. Right after Rock Band announced they get a new Guns N’ Roses song early, the Guitar Hero franchise announced they’ll get the new Metallica album “Death Magnetic” in it’s entirety for “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock” downloadable, so you can jam out to Metallica’s new entire album. The album will be downloadable in “Guitar Hero III” the same day “Death Magnetic” comes out in stores.

While Metallica may not yet be getting their own Guitar Hero video game, them getting “Death Magnetic” on Guitar Hero III is better than nothing, I guess!

As the owner of “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock”, I’ll definitely download the entire Metallica album for the video game as well. Pretty sweet!
