Metallica’s back!

This is huge! And brings me back to blogosphere after long.. Metallica is back its new album, Death Magnetic, freshly released yesterday. Well, am not sure am still a heavy metal adept anymore but this feels great. Metallica used to rock my life back in the schooldays and back then, you were either punk electro with coloured hair, reggae weed-pots or the dark metal fellows with long hair and this nasty look that wouldn’t stick off their asses. Well I didnt have long hair but :p… In the last years of college, their music had become an electrifying and adrenaline boosting elixir, always pumped at top volume, constantly roaring against my eardrums. 

Metallica has come a long way since Kill ‘Em All released in 1983 and were considered one of the finest metal bands during the ’90s.  When Newsted left in 2003, it felt like the end of an era, like it would not be the same anymore. This felt even more true with the release of St Anger, which was a decent heavy metal album but felt so unMetallica. In 2000, they filed a lawsuit against the godfather of modern p2p programs and literally killed Napster by asphyxia. That sucked..

But whatever be I’m so fuckin’ glad they’re back (..yeah, wouldn’t be a proper tribute to the band without the F-word) and I can’t wait to get a copy of the album!
