UK's METAL HAMMER Gets Really 'Metal' For Special-Edition METALLICA Cover

September 24, 2008

According to Guardian.co.uk, UK magazine Metal Hammer is marking the release of METALLICA's new album, "Death Magnetic", by distributing 4,000 limited-edition copies with covers made from metal.

The special-edition cover, emblazoned with the band's logo, will be available through HMV stores costing £5.99 from today. A small number will also be available through the magazine's web site.

In addition to the metal cover promotion, which has been two years in the planning, the latest issue contains an eight-page feature on life with the band and a track-by-track review of "Death Magnetic".

"We wanted to celebrate their return and there was no way we could make the Metal Hammer cover more metal than this," said Alex Milas, the editor of Metal Hammer, which is published by Future Publishing.
