No one questioned that the new album of Metallica, “Death Magnetic” (which we reviewed recently and with great feedback) could collect a good success but few probably would have expected a success of such proportions. The album is, according to the authoritative site Mediatraffic, in the first week has sold more than 800,000 copies worldwide (most of the “Hard Candy” by Madonna for instance) whereas that in some rankings entered after just two day of trading, the news takes on even greater dimensions.

Looking in more detail you find that in the U.S. (where the previous St.Anger his debut with 360,000 copies) the album has sold 490 thousand, 81 thousand in Canada (SoundScan data), England 75,000 (MusicWeek) and Japan 47,000 ( Oricon) by making disc incetta already platinum, based on copies distributed, some ‘everywhere. In Italy, the album has yet to debut in the standings, but is virtually certain that will be directly to 1, thereby taking the throne that was for 11 weeks of Giusy Ferreri.

Although it is often the case, it is not always true that high on music charts are of little value, but who knows what they think the same Metallica that for years have tried to fight piracy of music, and without losing an inch of the public for this reason , Are selling so incredible. Today more than yesterday.

But I know that many of our readers to the metal like Metallica and also because linked to memories of youth.

So the first video Death Magnetic extracted from the latest album of the band. The song is The Day That Never Comes that there had already done heard long ago, the video is directed by director Thomas Vinterberg and from what we read on metal. com seems that the band has been really satisfied:

We were honored to work with acclaimed film director and fellow Dane Thomas Vinterberg, as our goal with this song was to step outside of the usual every day music video box and into to the world of film. As you may have see here earlier, we shot it outside of Los Angeles a month ago and we hope that you are as blown away by Thomas’ vision as we are.
