After a triumphant return headlining this weekend's Reading and Leeds festivals, Metallica are now streaming another single from "Death Magnetic". 'My Apocalypse' is available to stream on Metallica.com and Mission Metallica now - http://www.metallica.com, http://www.missionmetallica.com . It is also available for download on iTunes.
Metallica have previously announced that they will be playing the 02 World in Berlin and 02 Arena in London on September 12th and 15th 2008 respectively. The shows are only available to the band's fan club members, and those people who subscribe to www.missionmetallica.com. Because this is a celebration, tickets prices are only ten Euros for Berlin, five pounds in London.
All the ticket proceeds from the Berlin show will be donated to The Deutsche Herzzentrum Berlin (DHZB) medical centres for heart treatment, more specifically for "Ein Herz fur Kinder" (a heart for children), which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Visit their site at http://www.dhzb.de/. Ticket proceeds from the London show will be donated to Youth Music, the UK's largest children's music charity, set up in 1999 to promote and support music making opportunities for children, including some of the UK's most disadvantaged young people. They work alongside the formal and community-based sectors to support music-making and training. Visit their site at http://www.youthmusic.org.uk/.
Tickets will only be available initially to registered Premier Met Club and Mission Metallica members through special sales for each group. The Fan Club sale begins on Monday, September 1st at 9:00 AM local time. Mission: Metallica Platinum members will be able to purchase tickets starting on Tuesday, September 2, also at 9:00 AM local time. Finally, those of you registered for the free portion of Mission may purchase tickets starting on Wednesday, September 3 at 9:00 AM should tickets still be available.
Codes needed to purchase tickets and more specifics will be on each site later this week. Only two tickets per person per show are available.
