Video footage of METALLICA members James Hetfield and Robert Trujillo talking about the songwriting process for each of the tracks that appear on the band's new album, "Death Magnetic", can be viewed in two parts below.

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 last night (Thursday, September 4) during the broadcast special "Metallica: The World Premiere Of Death Magnetic", are as follows:

* "The Day That Never Comes"
* "My Apocalypse"
* "Cyanide"
* "All Nightmare Long"
* "Broken, Beat & Scarred"
* "The Judas Kiss"

"Metallica: The World Premiere Of Death Magnetic" was hosted by FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl and drummer Taylor Hawkins and was broadcast live from METALLICA's headquarters in San Rafael, California. The 60-minute program, which aired on stations across the country, featured James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo giving fans an exclusive look at "Death Magnetic". Check out photos from the event at this location.

Several copies of "Death Magnetic" were sold early at a Paris record store on Tuesday (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.
