Metallica Unveil New Album And Autumn Tour Details

At weekend festival...

Metallica used their headlining appearance at the Weenie Roast festival in California yesterday (May 18th) to unveil details about their new album.

Appearing at the event alongside the Offspring, the group waited until the end of their 15-song set to tell fans that their long-awaited new studio album would be out in September.

Drummer Lars Ulrich added that the group would embark on a tour in support of the record in October.

The band didn’t preview any new songs during their near-two hour long set at the sold-out Verizon Amphitheatre, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

But they did showcase some of their greatest hits, including ‘Creeping Death’ and ‘For Whom The Bell Tolls’.

The anticipation for the band’s follow-up to 2003’s ‘St Anger’ has continued to grow over recent weeks with the launch of new websites.

Gigwise has some exclusive pictures of the band in the studio which can be seen below...

    • @Gigwise It's because the only way they could get Dave Rowntree to play the drums was to hypnotise him. Too strenuous otherwise, poor chap.
