Rumored Metallica Death Magnetic Release Date

There is a rumor floating around teh net that says Metallica’s release date for their new album, Death Magnetic may be September 16th. Here is what Blabbermouth reported:

“According to Finland’s Record Shop X, the Finnish release date for the new METALLICA album, “Death Magnetic”, is Wednesday, September 17. Although no official release date has yet been announced, it is likely that the CD will be issued in the U.S. on September 16, with most of continental Europe receiving the album on Monday, September 15 (except Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where fans will presumably be able to purchase the CD on Friday, September 12).”

I wouldn’t hold my breath or mark my calandar. We won’t really know untill it’s confirmed and it can always be pushed back again. Every time I say “Death Magnetic” I think of Sponge’s song Wax Ecstatic.
