So if you are a Metallica you must be a happy camper now. Yeah the boys of Metallica are back in business and this time they are bringing us a new production to be released on September 12 titled "Death Magnetic".

However, the forthcoming Metallica album “Death Magnetic” apparently leaked online after allegedly being sold before its September 12 release date in a French record shop. According to unconfirmed internet reports on Blabbermouth, Metallica fans in the old continent got hold of the new album and posted pictures of the artwork, which are available to see on the Blabbermouth website.

Despite the leak, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich said on a inteview on the Live 105 radio station based in San Francisco that he wasn't too concerned about possible losing sales. "Listen, we're ten days from release, I mean, from here, we're golden," he added. "If this thing leaks all over the world today or tomorrow, happy days. Happy days. Trust me. Ten days out and it hasn't quote-unquote fallen off the truck yet? Everybody's happy. It's 2008 and it's part of how it is these days, so it's fine. We're happy."

Currently, on a promotional tour in Eurore, METALLICA will play two budget-priced shows in London and Berlin to launch "Death Magnetic", including the opening show on September 12 at the new 17,000-capacity O2 World arena in Berlin.
