Metallica to release new EP


Metallica were celebrating their 30th anniversary last week. They played every night during that week. They revealed three previously unheard songs from Death Magnetic recording sessions, which didn't make it on the album. They are called "Hate Train", "Just A Bullet Away" and "Hell And Back" (you can listen to them all at the bottom).

However, that is not everything. Metallica have decided to release these three songs + "Rebel Of Babylon"(you can hear live version below) on EP entitled Beyond Magnetic.

Metallica said about the EP:

"During the Death Magnetic album sessions in 2007 and 2008, we originally recorded 14 songs. When it came time to pick the songs for the final album, we decided on 10 songs that you’ve all come to know over the last three years… Some of you may have heard bits and pieces of those other songs on ‘Mission Metallica’ (remember ‘Mission Metallica’?!) or heard rumors about them during the recording process, and wondered, ‘What ever happened to those other four songs???.’ We kept them in the vault and decided to pull them just for this special celebration, so here are the four leftover tracks from the Death Magnetic sessions. They are ROUGH mixes, unfinished to their original degree of mixing from March ’08. These four songs were released as gift to our closest fans, the members of our Fan Club, to enjoy. Now they’re being made available to you."

Tracklisting of Beyond Magnetic:

1. “Hate Train”
2. “Just A Bullet Away”
3. “Hell And Back”
4. “Rebel Of Babylon”
