It's "Apocalypse" now for Metallica

Metallica has posted another new song from its upcoming album, Death Magnetic, at the band's official website. Titled "My Apocalypse," the track closes the CD and is a fast thrash metal anthem in the style of vintage Metallica numbers such as "Battery" and "Damage Inc." The tune is the second new one to be heard from the album, following the release last week of the first official single, "The Day That Never Comes." Death Magnetic arrives worldwide on Friday, September 12th.

A number of fans complained online about the sound quality of the streams for "The Day That Never Comes," with a member of the band's website staff posting a message stating that the problem would be corrected.

Death Magnetic will come in a variety of digital and physical configurations, ranging from a straight download to a deluxe "coffin box" edition.

Metallica will play two low-dough shows in Europe to celebrate the CD's release, in Berlin on September 12th and London on the 15th. Tickets for both are priced under $20 and open to fan club members only.

The band will kick off its first indoor North American tour on October 21st in Glendale, Arizona, with shows booked through the end of January.
