Metallica again confirms the status of founders heavy metal

At last one of the hugest commands of admirers in the world, steadfastly watching creativity legendary heavy metal groups Metallica, has waited an exit of its ninth studio album. After not the most successful plate St. Anger 2003, declared as attempt to return by the early period in the history of group, participants among whom there was a new person, bass player Robert Truhilo, have given up all forces for work on a new material. It is necessary to tell that in embryo these songs existed already at least four years, but have not entered into one of collections or albums. On traditions of group, process of a writing and record of songs it was stretched almost for three years so rather serious work Death Magnetic has as a result turned out. This time Metallica have really come nearer to the early and most successful albums, again having addressed to gloomy themes and difficult structures of compositions. Certainly, the death and a negative accompanying it so the group has confirmed again the status of one of direction founders heavy metal and already the third decade became the basic subjects Death Magnetic continues the outstanding career.

On Death Magnetic there are no simple tracks

The shortest song on Death Magnetic lasts five minutes, and the long reaches almost ten. Here there are no the simple tracks, any of them does not approach under classical structure a couplet-refrain-couplet, and everyone pleases with the excellent guitar receptions impressing shock and expressive, though also gloomy melodies. The plate begins with palpitation sounds on track “That Was Just Your Life”, excepting on the power and reminding one of the most successful hits of group One. Ominous composition The End Of The Line and faltering, broken Broken, Beat and Scarred do honour as to guitarists, and the drummer whereas from a vocal of Hetfilda on them simply the spirit grasps. Single “The Day That Never Comes” – though and not the strongest track of an album, definitely gives quite accurate picture of that on it is presented, while the present gift for admirers became The Unforgiven III. Probably, this song also does not become the same masterpiece of fate as two previous its parts, however it was very successfully entered in the fatalistic concept of a plate and it has appeared not less monumental. Powerful prompt number The Judas Kiss contrasts with the longest on plate Suicide and Redemption, slow, but is far not a soft track, and finishes an album really trash composition My Apocalypse full of a destructive power and most roaring shock and the guitars what only are possible performed by Metallica.

Harmony and unknown power

For the first time for all time of existence Metallica have refused work with the constant producer the Bean Fate, having preferred not less known professional to Riku to the Ruby. Besides, Death Magnetic became their first work on label Warner Bros., though it, as well as their previous label Elektra Records, also belongs Warner Music Group. To requirements of the new producer the group is obliged by so prolonged process of work over Death Magnetic. The matter is that he wanted, that participants startes to record, only being completely assured in each of songs. And if earlier they dared to make any amendments or small improvisations, already writing down a song, this time they did not begin to do it. Happy admirers could observe of work on the Internet, however the ready product for certain will surprise both their harmony and unknown power. And that fact that piracy copies of an album have appeared in some shops ten days prior to official release, has delighted participants as it confirms that their music still is in great demand. And it it is no wonder, after all Metallica always will be Metallica, how many time had to wait for their following, the tenth album.
