Metallica recently released the 12th album in their 27 year career, which marked their unprecedented reign as THE greatest hard rock band in history. Death Magnetic hit the No. 1 slot in 32 countries. It stormed to the top of the UK charts where it remained for 2 weeks, making it their third UK No.1 album. Death Magnetic has held onto pole position in the European charts for FIVE weeks now, and not even the release of a new Oasis album could shake it!

Metallica have just been nominated for two awards at the forthcoming MTV Europe awards for the "Rock Out" and "Headliner" categories.
