METALLICA's New Album Reviewed In Latest 'Metal Hammer' Podcast

June 12, 2008

Metal Hammer magazine's latest podcast, featuring deputy editor Caren Gibson's "blow-by-blow account" of the new METALLICA record fresh from a very, very exclusive London listening party is available for download at this location (MP3 file, 26 MB).

METALLICA has posted an updated version of the image that originally appeared on the band's official web site on Tuesday (June 10) under the headline "???." There is still no word as to what the image represents or whether it will form part of the cover artwork for the band's much-anticipated new studio album.

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

Just one day after several UK web sites posted early reviews of six new METALLICA songs that were previewed for them in London last week, the reports were all taken down, reportedly at the request of the band's management. METALLICA has since issued a statement blaming a management "error" for the move and has apparently asked for the reviews to be re-posted.

METALLICA 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.
