Strong success of sales of their latest album Death Magnetic that, even among you readers, has sparked many comments and discussions, Metallica are preparing for their world tour. The European tour will be accomapagnati from Lamb of God and Mastodon, which will open the concert band.
We took to heart this first week of the album sales of return of Ac / Dc: Black Ice. A few days ago, in fact, there had shown the data derived from projections, huge as unimaginable. These days, Black Ice has already debuted at No.
1 in several countries including Australia, Sweden and Finland, according to the news appeared on the Times, was distributed in nearly 5 million copies worldwide already doing incetta disk platinum, as in Australia where it has already taken home 3 (210,000 copies distributed).
It has long talked of a return in the studio of the band that was Layne Staley, after the various reunion that have susseguite since 2005, but few days ago, the magazine Blabbermouth.net gave official confirmation: thirteen years after the release of ‘Latest album namesake and six years after the death of the historian frontman, Alice In Chains come in the studio to record a new Music album.
The band had already convened in July in a study of North Hollywood to try the new songs with William Duvall (pictured), singer Comes With The Fall, assisted by a producer for hours without name. Registrations will begin in October, while the output of disc speaks of the first months of 2009. As always, when a group replaces a member charismatic - and it was Laney, eccome - the risk of a flop is around the corner.
After the jump, for example, you can see the video of “Man in the box” sung live by its Duvall: apart from the timbre completely different - but that there is also - what seem to miss the new frontman is the charisma that characterized suffered Laney, who died - remember - in 2002 due to un’overdose. You who do you think?
I admit that it was not perhaps the most suitable to speak of Metallica, am I scansato metal since teenager: when my friends capelloni scapeggiavano as I listened forsennati Beck and Sonic Youth. 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.
It is available on the official site of Metallica the new single “The day that never comes.” Advance from this first excerpt, the album “Death magnetic”, the result of work with Rick Rubin (Red Hot Chili Peppers, System of a down, Rage against the machine, Slipknot), is expected next September 12 shops discs and on iTunes.
The September 12, moreover, Metallica will perform in Berlin in the penultimate concert of this first tranche of Europeans live. The price for tickets of the show is quite popular and in line with the latest choices of the band: just 10 euros to access the ‘02 World Arena (which will innaugurata by Hetfield and their partners).
Same philosophy adopted for the show to London ‘02 Arena, September 15. To witness the end date, before the departure of U.S. Steel, will suffice 5 pounds. Part of the collections of both dates (accessible, at least for the moment, only available to subscribers to the official Fan Club and Mission Metallica) will be devolved to local charities. And then do not say that metallari not have a heart…
