Metallica Launches Website Dedicated To New Album

Video clips, insider scoops on the recording sessions, plus membership in exclusive content...
As the September release of its first album in five years draws near, Metallica has launched the Web site "Mission: Metallica" (www.missionmetallica.com) to offer fans a wealth of exclusive content and teasers of new songs. A preview clip shows the band recording and clowning around in the studio. Fans who sign up will be eligible to "win backstage passes to every show this summer," among other special offers.
"Mission: Metallica" also has a "platinum" level, entitling fans to a copy of the new album delivered on street date, weekly "fly on the wall" video clips, contests to travel to shows and/or Metallica's San Francisco compound, live show downloads, ringtones and more. It is unclear what, if anything, the services will cost.
Metallica will be on the road this summer in advance of the as-yet-untitled album, beginning Wednesday (May 14) with a show at Los Angeles' intimate Wiltern Theatre. A European run begins May 28 in Chorzow, Poland.

I will be defently buying their new album. I'm huge metallica. Do I agree what they did with Napster not really but that is not stop me from listing to their music. I like all their music. Do I agree that early stuff is better. Yes, I do and I like the song Mamas said.
