Prepare to be disappointed
I’m not really awaiting this project with much excitement. I don’t know why, it just sounds dull to me. But it has a release date now, and it’s closer than I expected.
Their website, which Simo informed you about, now has “November 1 – North America” and “October 31 – Rest of the world” written on it. I’m no psychic, but I think that means it will be released on October 31 everywhere and a day later in U.S.A. and Canada. Just a hunch of mine.
At least we won’t have to wait long for it, and as the resident Metallica fan, I’ll probably have to review it myself for DoM. Well, time will tell. Hopefully it’s good, but I’m not holding my breath.
Loureedtallica website goes live
We’ve covered Metallica‘s “super secret” project that turned out to be a collaboration with Lou Reed before, and now we’re doing it again. Why? Because they have a website out.
The website is so amazing, that if you take a moment to imagine the words LOU REED AND METALLICA and COMING SOON next to the photo above, there’s not a single reason to visit it, because that’s all there’s to it at the moment. If you still for some reason want to see it for yourself, head over to loureedmetallica.com!
Metallica and Lou Reed will have an album cover
As you may have heard, Metallica‘s amazing secret project is actually a collaboration with Lou Reed. That doesn’t sound amazing at all.
Anyway, no details as to when, how, and especially WHY this album is being released, but Blabbermouth posted some news about a Dutch photographer doing their album cover. Isn’t that nice?
“Metallica and legendary singer and former Velvet Underground frontman Lou Reed have reportedly tapped Dutch photographer, music video and film director Anton Corbijn to take a picture for the cover of their upcoming collaborative album. According to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, Corbijn and Reed were seen hanging around with Metallica over the weekend in Gothenburg, Sweden where the band performed as part of the “Big Four” concert at Ullevi stadium.“
