A Finnish retailer called Record Shop X has listed Wednesday, September 17 as the release date for Metallica's ninth studio album, "Death Magnetic". Although an official release date has yet to be announced by the band or its label, the Finnish date would indicate that the album would arrive in the U.S. on Tuesday, September 16, with most of continental Europe getting the CD one day earlier on September 15. Some countries, including Germany, Austria and Switzerland, would see the record issued on Friday, September 12.
Tuesdays are when almost all CDs are issued in the U.S.
The members of Metallica have been saying in interviews that the album will arrive in September.
"Death Magnetic" was produced by Metallica and Rick Rubin, and marks the recording debut of bassist Robert Trujillo, who joined the lineup in 2003 shortly after the last Metallica album, "St. Anger", was completed.
Metallica will hit some European festivals starting in mid-July. The band's next U.S. date is the one-day Ozzfest on August 9 in Dallas, with a full North American tour slated to begin in October.
По сообщению норвежского ретейлера Platekompaniet, группа METALLICA выпустит ограниченным тиражом бокс-сет альбома "Death Magnetic" в виде двух CD и одного DVD, произойдёт это в сентябре. Бокс-сет выйдет в форме гроба, в него также войдут футболка, флаг и USB-флэш-карта.

Финский ретейлер Record Shop X назвал 17 сентября этого года датой выхода альбома "Death Magnetic". Хотя официальная дата релиза не анонсирована ни группой, ни лейблом, дата выхода в Финляндии свидетельствует о том, что в США альбом выйдет 16 сентября, а в большей части континентальной Европы — на день раньше, 15 сентября. В некоторых странах, как, например, в Австрии и Швейцарии, продажи начнутся 12 сентября.
В США обычно почти все диски выходят по вторникам.
Участники METALLICA рассказывали в интервью, что альбом поступит в продажу в сентябре.
"Death Magnetic" спродюсирован METALLICA и Rick'ом Rubin'ом. Для басиста Robert Trujillo этот альбом станет дебютным, он вступил в ряды группы в 2003 году — после того, как был выпущен предыдущий альбом под названием "St. Anger".
METALLICA примут участие в нескольких европейских фестивалях, стартующих в середине июля. Следующим выступлением группы в США станет концерт на Ozzfest, который пройдёт 9 августа в Далласе, после чего в октябре начнётся североамериканский тур группы.

Rock Sound и MetalHammer высказали свое мнение
UK's Rock Sound and Metal Hammer magazines have posted separate reports on the listening session for the new METALLICA album, which took place earlier today (Wednesday, June 4) in London.
Rock Sound writes: "On first impressions and just one listen, Rock Sound can confirm that the songs we've heard sound very much like classic METALLICA in vibe, harking back to the days of 'Master Of Puppets', '…And Justice For All' (but with bass) and the [self-titled 'black'] album — without sounding dated or tired.
"Of the six tracks Rock Sound heard this afternoon, only one had a working title — 'Flamingo'. With a slow intro, the song was reminiscent of 'Battery' in vibe, with two guitar solos and an undercurrent of melody and groove.
"The first single is an epic power rocker in the vein of 'The Unforgiven', 'Nothing Else Matters' and 'Sanitarium', with a mid-tempo, head-banging section and some THIN LIZZY-esque twin guitar riffage.
"Another song features the lyrics, 'Into abyss, you don't exist, you can't resist the Judas kiss'; another features an almost RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE-esque drum 'n' bass undercurrent and lyrics about 'suicide' and 'cyanide'; while the final song we heard, dubbed 'The Song', clocks in at under five minutes and is a galloping thrash attack with quirks, and a sniff of TESTAMENT about it!
"We suspect other song titles could include 'Die Hard', 'Show Your Scars', and 'My Apocalypse' — but we cannot be held responsible if none of these titles or lyrics are accurate!
"Thankfully — there are plenty of Kirk Hammett traditional guitar solos and a decent drum sound. Hetfield's voice sounds in fine form too. All of the songs have many different parts to them, giving the impression that the quartet is revisiting the epic vibe of the band's 'classic' period."
Metal Hammer reports: "What do the songs sound like? Track one, which is only known by the cryptic working title 'Flamingo', opens up on thunderous rolling drums as lead guitar meets them head on, a flaring up in stop-start motion before it pulls itself together in rushes forward in classic thrash style, all crunching 'Fight Fire With Fire' riffs and drilling beats. It takes at least two minutes for James Hetfield's vocals to come in, and while they sound furious, this isn't the grittiest he's ever sounded, more open in tone, but while there's still a memorable vocal line for the 'chorus,' and there is so much going on in the song, and so many ideas thrown in and discarded for the next one that it's hard on first listen to pick out one riff that you're going to remember it by. But with galloping riffs and the return of guitar breaks rising up from out of the grooves you can hear the true METALLICA spirit, even though its as if reflected in mirrored mosaic.
"Track two is at heart an anthemic ballad that recalls 'Fight Fire With Fire' and 'Nothing Else Matters', with a chiming guitar intro, airy vocals and some slightly convoluted, progressive-style bridges that mutate into urgent riffing, more galloping riffs and guitar solos. Again, the song has a number of different sections, but it still sounds massive.
"Track three kicks off on a stop-start riff flecked with Eastern touches, as other bustling guitar lines play off each other and Hetfield's vocals retain the power of old, like some monolithic prophet overlooking events as mid-paced, chugging riffs come in, sounding like an army on the march, methodically shooting anyone in their path.
"Track four is reminiscent of 'Master Of Puppets' with more than a touch of heads-down SLAYER pacing thrown in. After an artillery-lobbing drum-led intro, it quickly sets off on marching, thrash mode, Hetfield's spat vocals taking melodic digressions, as he roars 'Bow down, surrender unto me.' The song's groove carries you along as it opens up into guitar atomospherics that bring LED ZEP to mind. It isn't quite the kind of irresistible monster they've created before, but METALLICA still prove they can still sound lean and epic at the same time, and when the track drops out into the grove mid-way though, you can imagine the chants coming from the crowds live.
"Track five has another strong opening, with an uncharacteristic bouncing groove not a million miles away from RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE making appearances throughout setting off sharp riffs that come up against an irregular barrage of percussion that sets it off briefly on a more melodic path and builds up once again into a thrilling riff-fest mayhem.
"Track six is the 'song', considerably shorter than the others, but full of clinically sharp riffing, more SLAYER-esque parts and galloping grooves, all hustle and bustle with a tinge of Eastern melody thrown in once more.
"Initial impressions is that this is an album that's going to get our blood chugging, but whether it's all we hoped for is going to take more plays to answer. Ultimately we're hugely relieved and pretty damn thrilled, and we can't fucking wait to hear the rest."

Как звучат пэсни? Первый трэк, открывается трэшевым рубиловом в стиле "FFWF", вокал Хэта вступает аж через две минуты, во всем чувствуется дух Металлики. Нумбер два - сердешная баллада, напоминающая НЕМ, колокольное гитарное интро, воздушный голос, прогрессивный бридж, переходящий в супермегаскоростные риффы и соляки. В общем, в песне много разнообразных кусочков, но звучит это все очень массивно. Третий трэк тоже даёт просрацца: восточные мотивы (!) , монолитный вокал, пыхтящие риффы, звучит вообще как марширующая армия, которая убивает все, что попадаецца ей на пути О_о Четвертый трэк - реминисценция Мастир_оф_пуппиц, с небольшми вкраплениями Слэера. Артиллерийские ударные вначале, мелодичный вокал Хэта ("Bow down, surrender unto me" ). Вспоминаеццо Led Zeppelin. Эт канешна уже не такой неубиваемый монстр, как раньше, но Металлика все еще в силах надавать срачей толпам народу, они все еще могут звучать по-старому и в то же время эпично. Пятый трэк также начинается мощным интро, в целом похож на работы RATM, мелодия, риффы - все на месте. Шестой трэк - короче предыдущих, но полон жутко острых рифаков, также присутствуют восточные мотивы, в общем - толкотня и беготня
