Metallica To Release 'Beyond Magnetic' EP This Week

This week, Metallica will release their 'Beyond Magnetic' EP featuring four previously unreleased songs, which will be available exclusively on iTunes in North America for one week. After that week, the songs will be available from all digital retailers. Around the world, it will be available on iTunes and other digital retailers.

ImageSpeaking about the new EP, Metallica explained: “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 rumours 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.”
