Fans rejoiced as metal heavyweight band Metallica announced the release of their newest album in late 2008 "Death Magnetic." Their newest album in five years.
Not long after "Death Magnetics's" release Metallica went on an international "World Magnetic Tour" for late 2008 to mid 2009. fans couldn't be happier. "Death Magnetic" also won a couple Grammies "we are excited that the album won...Best Recording Package and My Apocalypse won for Best Metal Performance!" said Metallica on their site after the awards.
But that wasn't the end. On March 29. Metallica and Neversoft created "Guitar Hero: Metallica." Metallica's songs started appearing in the franchise in Guitar Hero 3 then Guitar Hero: World Tour before making a game based on just Metallica.
If that wasn't enough for the followers of one of the heaviest bands out there, Metallica also took over XM RADIO channel 42 and SIRIUS channel 27 for few months offering nothing but Metallica's music.
Metallica has redeemed themselves among fans who questioned their future as a band after the disappointing, rehab induced "St. Anger" album.
