Thread: First single from the new Metallica album!

The first single from the new album "Death Magnetic" was released yesterday to radio stations and is called "The day that never comes". The album itself is set to be released September 12. The single can be found on Myspace (MySpace.com - Metallica - CALIFORNIA - Metal / Rock - www.myspace.com/metallica) and you can listen to it for free as many times as you want.

My first impression is just WOW, this is old school Metallica, right back to the "Master of Puppets" and "Ride the lightning" albums (witch happens to be my two favorite albums from Metallica). The song starts of real slow and picks up pace towards the end, and it is said to be the most downbeat song on the album.

There is also a live version of "Cyanide" on Metallica's Myspace page, the sound is not to good so you cant really get a good impression of the song.

Based on the first radio single my expectations for the upcoming album just skyrocketed. What do the rest of you think? Are there even any other fan of Metallica on SRP?
