The Day That Never Comes Video Officially Released
The video for METALLICAs new single, The Day That Never Comes, can be viewed at Metallica.com. It is also available below. The clip was shot at the end of July in Acton, California (about an hour's drive north of Los Angeles).
METALLICA guitarist/vocalist James Hetfield told MTV.com that the video isn't making any lofty political statements about the war in Iraq. Instead, it's a statement on humanity, helmed by acclaimed Danish director Thomas Vinterberg, who, along with Lars von Trier, co-founded the Dogme 95 movement in filmmaking. Hetfield said that when he was writing the song's lyrics, he never envisioned the video would look anything like this.
That's the beauty, I think, of writing vague but powerful lyrics — that someone like a movie director can interpret it in his own way and obviously, someone creative is able to take the metaphors and apply them to whatever he needs in his own life, the frontman explained to MTV.com. The main [theme of the video] is the human element of forgiveness and someone doing you wrong, you feeling resentment and you being able to see through that in the next situation that might be similar and not take your rage or resentment out on the next person and basically keep spreading the disease of that through life.
He added, The one thing that I wasn't keen on here was Metallica plugging into a modern war or a current event [that] might be construed as some sort of political statement on our part. There are so many celebrities that soapbox their opinions, and people believe it's more valid because they're popular. For us, people are people — you should all have your own opinion. We are hopefully putting the human element in what is an unfortunate part of life. There are people over there dealing with situations like this, and we're showing the human part of being there.
It's the forgiveness part — that is key, he continued. METALLICA has never plugged into any current event visually, but this one is kind of a hotbed. People have very high opinions about this war, and we're trying to cut through all of that. The politics and the religion tend to separate people, and what we're trying to do is bring it together with the common thread of resentment and forgiveness.
METALLICA's new album, Death Magnetic, is scheduled for release on September 12.

ANOTHER SHOW TO REMEMBER IN THE ROCKIES
We're not sure exactly what it is, but some of the best shows Disposable Heroes have done have been in the little mountain town of Canmore Alberta. It was obvious that the sold out crowd were in as good a mood as the DH boys and it all translated into an amazing night for all. The guys love playing in Canmore so look for another show there in the not too distant future.
Disposable Heroes are set to play another show in Banff this Sunday, August 31 for at Wild Bills so get your tickets NOW!!!

SASKATOON GETS A DOUBLE DOSE OF METAL
Hello friends! If you were one of the lucky ones to attend either of the sold out shows at The Roxy in Saskatoon Saskatchewan then you were treated to something special. The guys had a blast playing to the crowd and it showed in some great performances.
The August 8th show was kicked off with opening act Winter Kill who treated the crowd to a double dose of Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. If you haven't had the fortune to see Winter Kill be sure to check them out asap! Saturday's show was started off with local band Cold Filter entertaining the masses until the DH boys hit the stage.
The boys rolled out a couple of tunes, Blitzkrieg and The Memory Remains. Look for DH to return to Saskatchewan with a few more shows in the coming months.

METALLICA: 'Death Magnetic' Cover Artwork Revealed
The cover artwork for METALLICA's new album, Death Magnetic, can be viewed below.
In an interview conducted Wednesday, July 16 by VG TV at the opening show of the second leg of METALLICA's European summer tour in Bergen, Norway, guitarist/vocalist James Hetfield stated about the new album title, 'Death Magnetic', at least the title, to me, it's… It had something to do with… It started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like Layne Staley [ALICE IN CHAINS] and a lot of the people that have died, basically — rock and roll martyrs of sorts. And then it kind of grew from there. Thinking about death… some people are drawn towards it, and just like a magnet, some people are drawn towards it, [and] other people are afraid of it and push away. And the concept that we're all gonna die sometimes is over-talked about and then a lot of times never talked about — no one wants to bring it up; it's the big white elephant in the living room. But we all have to deal with it at some point. So that's kind of the subject matter.
METALLICA has announced that every song Death Magnetic will be available to download for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on the same date that the record arrives in stores, reports The Pulse of Radio. A post at the band's official web site stated, It's a first in both music and gaming...The same day that 'Death Magnetic' hits the streets, you'll be able to download every song from the album for Guitar Hero III! We are so psyched that we'll be the first out of the gate with this simultaneous release...Who knows?! Maybe a few years from now this will be the norm when your favorite band's new record comes out.
The post added that Death Magnetic will also be available for the new World Tour edition of Guitar Hero, which is due out this fall.
Rumors of an all-METALLICA edition of Guitar Hero have been making the rounds recently, but the game's publishers have not confirmed this.
Death Magnetic is due out in September and was produced by METALLICA and Rick Rubin.
A deluxe box set edition of the album will be available in the U.S. The coffin box package will contain one CD featuring the album, another containing demos, a behind-the-scenes DVD, an exclusive T-shirt, a METALLICA flag, a collection of guitar picks, codes for a special live download and a poster.
The coffin box will only be available through Metallica.com, MetClub.com, and MissionMetallica.com.
Several other editions of Death Magnetic will also be offered for sale through the Mission: Metallica site, including an all-digital version and a high-end edition featuring five vinyl LPs and a lithograph.
METALLICA'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.

The guys love playing in Canmore Alberta and it showed in a big way on this one. Not only were the sold out crowd on hand treated to a show to remember filled with rarely heard classics but the guys played for just shy of 3 hours! Once again the Drake in Canmore was filled to over capacity with many fans being forced to listen from outside. Highlights on this one were the super rare Crash Course in Brain Surgery, Shortest Straw, Hanger 18?, and a very cool melding of Master of Puppets and Seek and Destroy (the guys played the first half of Puppets, then the entirety of Seek followed by completing the rest of Puppets!).
The guys definitely love playing to the crowd in the Rockies so look for them to return sometime later this year.
