Soundboard audio recordings of several songs from METALLICA's May 14, 2008 benefit concert at the 2,200-seat Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles can be heard below.

The opening act was SCARS ON BROADWAY, the new group featuring SYSTEM OF A DOWN guitarist Daron Malakian and drummer John Dolmayan. Money raised from the show will go towards programs, operations and scholarships at the school, as well as a summer camp program and funds for a new building.

METALLICA will also play this week in Tucson, Arizona on Friday (May 16) and Irvine, California on Saturday (May 17),both radio festivals. The band is also one of the headliners at Tennessee's Bonnaroo festival in mid-June.

As previously reported, MissionMetallica.com launched on Monday (May 12). A montage of clips from the band's history, as well as a shorter collection of footage from its recent studio sessions, were posted at the site, along with short excerpts of at least two new songs. Other bonus content and exclusive offers will be made available at the site, although it's not clear if and what fans will have to pay.

The new METALLICA album is due out this September. Its classic 1986 album, "Master of Puppets", is being reissued on heavy-duty vinyl on June 17, the third in the band's series of vinyl reissues.
