Metallica’s first album in over five years, Death Magnetic, is projected to be doing fairly well.
According to statistics, the album is well on its way to top U.S. album charts this week.
The official data will be released before the week ends, but according to preliminary estimates, their new album will make it big.
According to many sources, Death Magnetic is said to have sold 450,000 - 500,000 copies last week, even though the album was only on sale for three days.
Good job, oldies!!!
Their last album, St. Anger, also sold very well during its first week of release, selling 419,000 copies in just three days as well.
A good reason why the sales are up is because some stores, like Best Buy, are bundling the album with Guitar Hero and even with some Metallica headphones.
Ticketmaster is also offering a ticket/album deal for buyers.
Hmmm… Are you gonna buy a rock album by a bunch of old guys?

Metallica has a new marketing ploy for the more sombre of you.
It’s a “Death Magnetic” coffin box that will have a copy of the actual album, an additional disc of demos, a “making of the album” DVD, an exclusive T-shirt, a flag, guitar picks and a fold-out poster.
Plus, the box includes a collector’s credit card embossed with a code to redeem a free download of a special European show that’s happening in September.
The Metallica Website tells us that the band is in the process of wrapping up the artwork for the coffin-shaped box and items in it, but it will come out the same day the album does this fall.
It’s only going to be available online through Metallica’s web site.

Forget Ozzfest as you know it because the annual summer heavy-metal rock concert is changing things up this year by no longer touring the country and performing nonstop. Instead, they will be making Ozzfest a one-day mega event. It will take place in Dallas at the Pizza Hut Park on Saturday, August 9th with headliners Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne. Manager Sharon Osbourne commented on the change saying “Ozzy just finished an 11-month world tour, so I think he deserves a summer off. We’re going to be a stadium destination festival for now — we have gone past doing the sheds every summer. We’ve given everyone else the blueprint and we have to keep evolving Ozzfest.”
