The Official Metallica - Death Magnetic Thread

lmao... you didnt know that was a coffin? yea its a magnet coffin drawing in the dirt to go around it. I dont know why the dirt is shaped like the coffin but I still think the cover is cool.

Maybe the coffin came falling down from the sky thus making a huge hole in shape of the coffin. Then with the strength of the sand magnet coffin it sucks in more dirt to cover it back up. It just better get some more dirt from somewhere because by the look of it that coffin is pretty deep in the ground and thats not enough sand to fill it up.

Ya never kow who's lurking around here...

Who's the guy with the Doro shirt?

No. I know it was supposed to be a coffin, but because the dirt is shaped like a coffin also I was viewing the white in the middle as the bottom of an open coffin. I would have looked better if the dirt area was just square. And I still think the coffin (bottom or whatever) is too white. It needs some dirt on it.

there is somewhat of a shading going on around the coffin. I guess you just dont have such a great artistic eye as I do.

Either Doro's bodyguard or Monty Connor i guess.

When is the new single suppose to come out?

end of the month

I think this album is gonna be really good. Just a hunch. Nothing like the early stuff, of course, but a black album kind of thing.

I agree. Kirk said it's a less progressive And Justice for All. That sounds good to me.

I think it will be a tad heavier than the Black Album, and a lot more "Metal" - As in, it will have an overall more..well, more "Metal" structure - I heard some of the music in the Fly on the Wall video's on MM, and there was some real thrashing going on - Thoughts of classic, as well as more modern Thrash came to mind - I think, it will generally have a heavy, METAL sound, mixed in with melodic melodies and those ultra-cool, catchy Hetfield vocals (like in the teaser).

If you're a fan of dry humor on this board, you might figure it out.

Hey not to ruin your boner but just remember. Until It Sleeps sounded promising and then the Load dropped. History was changed in an instant.

Good point, spec. And then, of course, the Reload dropped.

(Credit to spectrefate for the original joke.)

I think the "load" dropped on the album prior to Load...

You can't fool me with that revisionist crap. Load is great, and so is Reload. Two very underrated albums.

Thats what I thought too. I kept waiting for it to get heavy and it never did. Still I gave the album a chance and it didn't take long for me to get rid of it.

yo always want to give hero's the benefit of the doubt, right? I think it ought to be good, but I doubt it will be an instant classic, probably take some listens to get into.

Revisionist? those two albums are not underrated. They are what they are, and what they are is disliked by me. But the Metallica ship had already sailed, so I barely noticed their arrival.

Underrated. If the Metallica name wasn't on those albums, no way they'd have been slammed as hard.

......and they probably wouldn't have been heard by millions of metal fans, either.

Just for the record, Master Of Puppets went platinum PRIOR to them ever releasing a video or being played on the radio. That was back when they were a real band and not just a huge corporate marketing machine.

All that the Black Album, Load & Re-Load did was to alienate the majority of the fan base that put them on the map in the first place and replace them with a bunch of young MTV fans who didn't even realize they existed prior to Enter Sandman.

They ceased to be Metallica after Justice.
