Metallica have unveiled the cover for their much anticipated new album ‘Death Magnetic’.
The simplistic design, released on their website yesterday (July 18th), appears to depict the shape a of a coffin surrounded by shared metal.
‘Death Magentic’ is due to be released in September.
As previously reported on Gigwise, in addition to traditional formats, the album will also be released simultaneously on the next installment of Guitar Hero.
