Description

On September 12th 2008, Death Magnetic, Metallica’s long awaited follow up to the highly controversial St. Anger was released. With the band spending over five years writing, recording and mastering the album, fans were eager to see Metallica return to their thrash roots, and so they did in nostalgic fashion!

Due to the length of the tracks on the album, much of the material was cut including four full length tracks entitled Hate Train, Just a Bullet Away, Hell and Back and Rebel of Babylon.

To celebrate their 30th anniversary, Metallica played a series of gigs to a selection of their dedicated fan club in their old stomping ground San Francisco. Each night the band unleashed a new track previously unheard by anyone but themselves. After an impressive reception from the fans, the band then decided to release these four tracks as an EP, called Beyond Magnetic.

This EP is for any fans of the pioneering thrash act Metallica, and from the words of James Hetfield himself, ‘These are not cast-offs’. (Matt Fairfield)

Great Stuff

This is Metallica at their best. Great riffs, heavy bass, extended guitar solos and Hetfield's vocals. I had thought that these would be 4 tracks that were not good enough to make it on to Death Magnetic but each track could have easily been selected for the album! At 75 mins in length Death Magnetic was a long album and adding these four extra tracks would have made it too long. Another criticism levied at Beyond Magnetic is that Metallica should have waited and released another album- no way with tracks this good in the bank the fans deserve to hear them! One of the best things about Metallica is that as soon as you hear a track, you know what era it came from- Kill em All is so different to Ride which again has a completely different sound to Master of Puppets- Death Magnetic and Beyond Magnetic define the band at the moment and I'm sure that the next album will have a different feel- all four tracks are great and I can't wait to hear them live.
