Today we finished mixing and mastering our ninth studio album of original material, 'Death Magnetic', which hits the streets worldwide on Friday, September 12. Plus, you'll be able to download every song from the album for 'Guitar Hero III' on the same day!
Time for a different sort of vacation ... one right here on our home turf!! Now that 'Death Magnetic' is complete, we're ready to start a proper indoor arena tour of the States and Canada and we can't wait to visit all of our 'talli-fans here . . . it really has been too long (hey, what's four years amongst friends?).
Met Clubbers and Mission Metallica Platinum members will have first crack at 'em when tickets go on sale . . . dates, times and in general more on that later. But for now, we thought we would let you know where we'll be for the next couple of months . . . here's a complete list of cities and venues up through January 31, 2009!
