Metallica is releasing a new album due in September, and now fans can be a “fly on the wall” to see the band behind the scenes. Their new site, Mission Metallica, gives fans a back stage pass to exclusive content, bits of new songs and video of the guys in action.

The only video footage available now is a three minute clip you can see below. Although, there is a teaser offering eventual “platinum status,” which will give fans much more access to their 9th studio album.
“For all you hard core Metallica nuts who are insatiable and need more, more, more and extra more! A copy of the new album physically delivered to your doorstep the day it comes out, additional fly on the wall video footage on a weekly basis, many more photos, cool contests to travel, and lots of other stuff.”
Looks like Metallica is trying to make a little money on their music before it hits the internet…and everyone downloads it for free. I guess you can do things like this when you’re one of the best selling bands of all time with 100 million albums sold, winners of 7 Grammys, and have catalog sales since 2000 second to only The Beatles.
See the video below for a taste of their new material and check these dates for Metallica’s tour to a city near you.
