New Metallica album for GH3 on Friday
Same day as shops, plus exclusive tracks.
"Death Magnetic", the upcoming ninth studio album by Metallica, will launch simultaneously in Guitar Hero III and in shops this Friday.
Better still, the band has recorded two exclusive versions of single "Suicide & Redemption" for the game, each with extended guitar solos to panic along to.
Even better still, the entire "Death Magnetic" album will be forward-compatible with Guitar Hero World Tour, which launches this October.
That makes the 1440 Microsoft Points (GBP 12.20 / EUR 17.80) or USD 17.99 (Euro TBC) asking price rather more attractive.
The other tracks on the album are "That Was Just Your Life", "The End of the Line", "Broken, Beat & Scared", "The Day That Never Comes", "All Nightmare Long", "Cyanide", "The Unforgiven III", "The Judas Kiss", "My Apocalypse".

Trust me, this album is superb. It's like the last four/five albums don't exist
I had completely lost faith in Metallica but this album is excellent. I would say it's like a cross between Ride the Lightning and ...And Justice For All.
Edit: I say four/five because I actually quite enjoy the Black Album, despite it's commercialism. It's certainly no-where near as bad as Load or Reload and that piece of donkey turd St. Anger even if you're not fond of the Black Album

What I'm looking forward to is the new Trivium album, who are the new Metallica
As for DM its ok, still not as good a Master of Puppets etc but 100 times better than St. Anger

Fuck off are Trivium the new Metallica. Trivium have been completely commercial from the beginning. Excellent guitarists, don't get me wrong, but they're trying way too hard.
Also, they lean ever so slightly in the emo direction which really REALLY pisses me off.
/rant over.

Lol. Didnt mean to get you so worked up
I take your points about Trivium but...
Metallica are a spent force having peaked in late 80's/early 90's and have nothing really orginal to offer anymore.
Whereas Trivium are the young whipper-snappers who have a lot to prove, plus have the right sound and looks to take them to the top of the metal league (much to your displeasure!).
I was hoping for more from Avenged Sevenfold but it appears that they have blown it
Anyway music is a matter of taste isnt it
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Aye. You're right, it is. I just don't like the amount of commercial metal around, these days. Avenge Sevenfold are another band that do my tits in
I tend to lean more towards black metal, death/melodic death metal bands these days. Amon Amarth, Hatesphere, Kalmah, The Haunted... that kind of thing.

Metallica were pioneers, whereas Trivium are just followers... They have to *create* something before they can start proving anything.

Some people enjoy guitar wankery...difference in personal tastes...its what makes the world go round.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
It's quite possible to be both commercial and awesome at the same time. Just take Girls Aloud for proof.

I remain to be convinced. I don't know why Metallica still bother to be honest. They had their day and did 3 great albums (Lightning, Puppets and Justice) that define 80's heavy metal. Now they're just old, tired, embarassing and 20 years behind the times.
Plenty of better metal bands around who have bothered to move with the times.

I don't think you'll find that is what makes the world go round. Has something to do with the moon I think and perhaps virgins and lots of string.

I can has confused.
That track wasn't a single, "The Day That Never Comes" was and even got a video. It's also a 10min+ instrumental that was already plastered with solos so extra extended ones seem a weird thing to add to it.
I guess only time will tell!

But that's beside the point.
Death Magnetic is brilliant - kind of a more rock and roll version of the thrash stuff. I'll be getting it for GH rather than buying the CD.
It's a bit pricey though.

Annnyway, this new Metallica album is actually pretty rocking, and thankfully we can all now pretend St Anger never happened
Isn't 'Suicide and Redemption' the instrumental one? I can't see that being a single :/

Each download contains two different versions of "Suicide & Redemption." One version is James only solo, and the other is Kirk only solo. The download will be forward compatible with Guitar Hero World Tour when it comes out in October.

Well if you want to be pedantic about it, the Moon is the very last thing that will keep it spinning. The Earth is an object in motion, in a frictionless environment. The Moon's gravitational pull is the only thing that slows it down, but only by tiny, tiny amounts.
