Metallica announced on the band’s official website that they just got their own XM Sattelite radio for a little while. During August 16th through September 30th on XM 51 you will get to hear all Metallica, all the time 24/7!!!! They will be playing nothing but Metallica songs from all Metallica albums including the new one “Death Magnetic”! The name of the station is called “Mandatory Metallica”. They won’t have this station forever, only for over a month. There will also be live concert recordings being aired and there will be live interviews by each band member.

So for those who own monthly subscriptions to XM Radio, enjoy this while you can:

XM Radio is very cool. I want to get one someday and it’s definitely much better than FM radio over here.
