Beyond Magnetic: Metallica goes plastic
Beyond Magnetic, the EP consisting of Metallica‘s unreleased tracks from the Death Magnetic sessions, will make its physical debut on January 30. The songs were first presented on the 30th anniversary shows (pic related), and the reception of the digital EP was good enough to grant a physical release. Not to mention the band probably wants to leave Lulu as far back in the past as fast as possible, and that the EP sold like three times more in the opening week.
We’re still pumped up after celebrating our 30th anniversary last month with Fan Club members from around the world and by sharing the stage with musicians we have admired all our lives,” say the be band in a statement on their website. “As you may have heard by now, part of the fun on those nights included playing unreleased tracks from the Death Magnetic sessions and after giving them to all Fan Club members for free, those songs have been available on iTunes and other at digital retailers for several weeks. We’ve been feeling all the love and positive vibes beyond our wildest expectations on the mp3 side, so we decided to go “old school” (!!) and also release those four songs on a CD.
You heard that, you dinosaurs? The next time you go get a hip replacement, make sure to stop by the record store and get yourself a “compact disc” (compact my ass, my iPod’s smaller and holds like a gazillion songs).

Dose of djentstep: The Algorithm
Take out your hipster badge and show it off proudly, because you’re in for a treat: The Algorithm have released a new single called Trojans.
You might remember the band from an article on djentstep I wrote last year, and if you want to know what a Nintendo would sound like being kicked around with an 8-string guitar, taped and then those sounds remixed by the likes of Skril-dawg, check out the song below.
The single has two other tracks and you can check them out on Basick Records BandCamp page.
Former Megadeth members get together
…and they’re jamming like there’s no tomorrow. Former Megadeth guitar player Jeff Young met up with band’s former bass player James LoMenzo, also joining them was drummer Jeff Bowders. This is unrelated to Young’s new project, Souls on 11, and it’s more of a “in the moment” type of thing. You get what I’m saying? They’re sending their chill vibes all over the place.
You can check the video above and for more of “young vibes” check out Soul on 11‘s ReverbNation page.
