Metallica frontman James Hetfield has explained why the rock titans have named their new album 'Death Magnetic.'
Pretty much self-explanatory, the 44-year-old said that it's a homage to dead rock stars and also the fact that the band members ar becoming more fixated with mortality.
He explains: "('Death Magnetic') started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like Layne Staley and a lot of the people that have died, essentially — rock and revolve martyrs of sorts. And then it kind of grew from there. Thinking about death...just like a attractor, some masses are worn towards it, (and) other people ar afraid of it and push away.
"The concept that we're all gonna die sometimes is over-talked about and then a lot of multiplication never talked about — no one wants to bring it up; it's the giving white elephant in the living room. But we all experience to deal with it at some point."
Metallica too unveiled the album's track-listing earlier this week, which is as follows:
That Was Just Your Life
The End Of The Line
Broken, Beat & Scarred
