​Dupa prezentarea melodiilor Hate Train si Just A Bullet Away zilele trecute, Metallica a lansat inca o piesa compusa pentru discul Death Magnetic, dar care nu a mai fost inclusa in cele din urma pe album. Cantecul a fost interpretat in premiera vineri, cu ocazia celui de-al treilea concert aniversar sustinut de trupa in San Francisco, la implinirea a 30 de ani de existenta, scrie blabbermouth.net.

  • Vezi mai jos versurile piesei Hell And Back.
  • Luna aceasta, Metallica a mai lansat piesele Hate Train si Just A Bullet Away, precum si videoclipul melodiei The View (colaborare cu Lou Reed)
  • Zilele acestea, trupa sarbatoreste 30 de ani de existenta, prin patru concerte sustinute in San Francisco
  • Formatia va sustine in 2012 un turneu in Europa
  • Turneul european va avea loc mai devreme decat fusese programat initial, pentru a evita tulburarile cauzate de problemele monedei euro

O varianta nefinalizata a piesei a fost trimisa pe email tuturor membrilor fanclubului Metallica. Mai jos puteti asculta o varianta o varianta bruta a piesei, precum si o varianta live. Trupa a procedat la fel si zilele trecute, cand le-a oferit fanilor melodiile Hate Train si Just A Bullet Away.

Metallica a mai lansat luna aceasta si un videoclip alaturi de Lou Reed (Velvet Underground), pentru piesa The View. Melodia este inclusa pe discul Lulu, despre care James Hetfield a declarat ca NU trebuie considerat "noul album Metallica". Materialul nu a fost bine primit de fanii Metallica, Lulu fiind catalogat drept una dintre marile dezamagiri din istoria muzicii. Detalii aici.

In decembrie 2011, Metallica implineste 30 de ani de existenta. Momentul este sarbatorit prin patru concerte sustinute la Filmore (San Francisco), doar pentru membrii fan clubului Metallica. Primul spectacol a beneficiat de prezenta celor de la Apocalyptica, Diamond Head, precum si a fostului basist Metallica - Jason Newsted.

In 2012, Metallica va sustine un turneu in Europa, desi initial ar fi trebuit sa cante abia in 2013. Motivul devansarii turneului: criza monedei euro. O masura similara a fost luata si de Red Hot Chili Pepper (se stie ca cele doua trupe au acelasi impresar). Detalii aici despre ratiunile financiare din spatele devansarii concertelor sustine in Europa de trupele Metallica si RHCP.

Metallica - Hell And Back (versuri)

"There is nowhere else I can run to

She is wretched but she comforts me

After everyone goes home

She's always there for me

And when the sun goes hellbound

And the moon does resurrect the night

I'll hide within her

Not much good has come out the light

After everyone goes home

And I'm left here on my own

I will run straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

When they turn out all their lights

And I'm left to brood at night

Always return to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

Straight down yeah

A lonely light in a window

Just longing for some company

Tragic, heartless and hateful

But there's nothing as willing as she

And when the night has fallen

It falls hard and then it all begins

When she starts her calling

I feel my darkness growing from within

After everyone goes home

And I'm left here on my own

I will run straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

When they turn out all their lights

And I'm left to brood at night

Always return to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

I will run straight to Hell and back

I become two

We become one

Unbridled... unequaled... unholy... undone

The path is cut deep

The path is worn well

I'll follow my footsteps to the warmth of Hell

The warmth of Hell

After everyone goes home

And Im left here on my own

I will run straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

When they turn out all their lights

And I'm left to brood at night

Always return to Hell and back

Return to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

I will run straight to Hell and back"
