Metallica Announce 2008 European Dates

Metallica have announced a host of European dates, which include a festival appearance at Rock AM Ring in Germany.

The band’s dates, which begin with a performance at the Slaski Stadium in Poland on May 28th, will see them unveil tracks off their new album live for the first time.

The follow-up to 2003’s ‘St. Anger’ – which has yet to be titled – has been described by the band’s drummer Lars Ulrich as “a lot more dynamic and a lot more varied” than their previous albums.
