(formerly known as Highlights from METALLICA's June 7
performance at the Rock Am Ring festival in Nürburgring, Germany
will be broadcast on Sunday, June 8 from 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. via

broadcast from London throughout Europe.

Reporters from a number of UK-based heavy rock magazines were
given a preview of six tracks from the upcoming METALLICA album
on Wednesday (June 4) in London.

Drummer Lars Ulrich recently stated that the yet-to-be-titled disc
was a modern variation on the band's older style.
"The stuff is definitely pretty all over the place," he said.
"There's a lot of variation, a lot of, you know, fast, slow, melodic,
kind of hardcore, nutty super-fast speed stuff.
It's a little more like, you know, some of the earlier records were
a little more dynamic within the songs.
It feels like it's kind of a lot of that stuff."

The album is due out in September, with the title expected
to be announced soon through the new Mission: Metallica web site.

The group will play Tennessee's Bonnaroo festival on Friday, June 13,
and the one-day Ozzfest in Dallas on August 9, with a full North American
tour in the works for the fall.
