According to a post on their official website, Metallica are going to issue their hush-hush new album, Death Magnetic, in a special-edition “coffin box” stuffed with all kinds of goodies that will surely make up for the long wait between albums.
Along with the new album, fans will also get a bonus CD of demos, a DVD featuring studio footage, an exclusive T-shirt, guitar picks, flag, and fold-out poster. There is also an embossed credit card that allows people who buy the box to download a live European concert Metallica is playing this September.
Keep checking the website for more details. “We’re in the process of wrapping up the artwork now, so we’ll be sure to have some things to show soon,” the band said.
The coffin box will only be available through www.metallica.com, www.metclub.com, and www.missionmetallica.
