Metallica has announced that its Beyond
Magnetic EP, will be released on silver vinyl on Record Store Day,
Saturday, April 21, 2012. Fans can purchase the vinyl at indie record
retailers and at www.metallica.com. Originally released via all
digital retailers on December 13th and on CD worldwide on January 30th, the EP
features four tracks recorded during the sessions for 2008's 2x-platinum Death
Magnetic, the band's fifth consecutive No. 1 album.
Said the members of Metallica of Beyond
Magnetic: "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 for our 30th anniversary celebration last month, 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."
Metallica celebrated its 30th anniversary as a
band in December 2011, performing four shows at the Fillmore Theatre in San
Francisco, CA, exclusively for members of their fan club, the Metallica Club.
