Today, Metallica announced on theirofficial Web sitethat their upcoming album,Death Magnetic, will be available for download onGuitar Hero IIIthe day it debuts in stores. If only being able to act like a guitarist is not enough to suit your fancy, don’t worry.Death Magneticwill also be available onGuitar Hero World Tourthis fall.
I always wanted an opportunity to play the drums like Lars, or groan like Hetfield. I wonder if this upcoming album will be able to match the inspiring records of old. Hopefully, we won’t be bothered with another “St. Anger.” What the hell was with Lars’ drum kit on that CD anyway? It sounded like he had a cat tethered across the snare.
According toGuitarHeroNews, the album is set to drop this September. No price point or exact date has been pinpointed as of yet. What do you guys think of this move? I always visualized playing some of Metallica’s older stuff, like what has been previously offered — not necessarily a brand new album. Do you think this will open doors to the entire Metallica library?
