On December 10, METALLICA will release a live DVD called "Quebec Magnetic" through the band's newly launched Blackened Recordings label. The double DVD and single disc Blu-ray will be available for a price a "very METALLICA fan-friendly" price — suggested retail will be $15.98 for either format. Filmed by Wayne Isham during a two-night stand in October of 2009 in Quebec City, it will be METALLICA's first self-released project. "We just played two really phenomenal shows. They were outrageously great and the audience was great and we had a bunch of people filming it," METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett told Billboard.com. "We felt like we're really doing a disservice just sitting on this great live footage, so we decided to put it out." "Quebec Magnetic" track listing:01. That Was Just Your Life02.

According to that provision — almost unheard of for acts signed to major label contracts — all the masters reverted back to the band. Frontman James Hetfield said in a statement,Jonathan Ericsson Jersey, "We would like to thank everyone at the Warner Music Group for 28 years of a fantastic relationship,Frederik Andersen Jersey, particularly since 1994 where we truly felt we had partners in every aspect of our business in North America." The band has also revealed that it is launching its own label,Clark Griswold Jersey, called Blackened Recordings,Martin Havlat Jersey, that will be the new home for all of their recordings and videos, as well as anything else that the band may come up with. All marketing and promotion will be handled by Blackened, with distribution through Rhino Entertainment in North America and the Universal Music Group internationally. Drummer Lars Ulrich said, "Forming Blackened Recordings is the ultimate in independence, giving us 100 percent control and putting us in the driver's seat of our own creative destiny."Ulrich told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that METALLICA was long past the point where the band needed a corporate record label to support it. "The great thing about being in a band like us is that we're in a position to bypass the record company,Chris Chelios Jersey," he said. "Basically record companies act like banks. And when you don't need the bank element of a record company,Dennis Rasmussen Jersey, then you can kind of do it yourself."METALLICA is also working on a 3D feature film for release next summer,Antti Niemi Jersey, as well as a new studio album that should surface in early 2014. |
