Metallica released a new single from their latest album “Death Magnetic”. And as every great band they do it in style. The single “All Nightmare Long” is presented on two maxi CD singles and one CD-DVD. On the first CD you get besides the single also two unreleased live B-sides “Wherever I May Roam” and "Masters Of Puppets”. On the second CD you get besides the single two other live tracks that never had been released “Blackened” and "Seek And Destroy”. On the third CD-DVD you get the single as audio track and the documentary "Berlin Magnetic", a reportage about the album release party at Berlin in front of 17000 fans with exclusive interviews and three live tracks from their concert. Besides this documentary you get also another unreleased documentary that shows the warm up of Metallica before their Rock In Park gig at Nurnberg. The new single self is unpredictable with lots of tempo changes. This song shows that Metallica still hits the right nerve. The band took the structure and idea from their mid eighties period and incorporated it in a new format. And it works!
