METALLICA: Highlights Of ROCK AM RING Performance To Air On Europe's MTV TWO

June 6, 2008

Highlights from METALLICA's June 7 performance at the Rock Am Ring festival in Nrburgring, Germany will be broadcast on Sunday, June 8 from 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. via MTV Two (formerly known as MTV2 Europe and M2),a 24-hour alternative music channel broadcast from London throughout Europe.

Reporters from a number of UK-based heavy rock magazines were given a preview of six tracks from the upcoming METALLICA album on Wednesday (June 4) in London.

Drummer Lars Ulrich recently stated that the yet-to-be-titled disc was a modern variation on the band's older style. "The stuff is definitely pretty all over the place," he said. "There's a lot of variation, a lot of, you know, fast, slow, melodic, kind of hardcore, nutty super-fast speed stuff. It's a little more like, you know, some of the earlier records were a little more dynamic within the songs. It feels like it's kind of a lot of that stuff."

The album is due out in September, with the title expected to be announced soon through the new Mission: Metallica web site.

The group will play Tennessee's Bonnaroo festival on Friday, June 13, and the one-day Ozzfest in Dallas on August 9, with a full North American tour in the works for the fall.
