Metallica posted two new songs online

Metallica have posted two new songs online, titled Hate Train and Just A Bullet Away. Both tracks were recorded during the work on the band's last to date album Death Magnetic, but were not included in final tracklisting.

The tracks are set to be featured on upcoming album Beyond Magnetic that features previously unreleased Metallica songs from different times.

Recently Metallica claimed that the decision to perform a huge European tour next year was caused by unstable situation with the Euro. The band announced its plans just after finishing another tour this year – according to manager Cliff Burnstein, they want to perform as many concerts as possible before European Union will suffer from economic crisis.

"I'm not an economist, but I have a degree, so it helps. You have to ask yourself, what's the best time to be doing what, when and where. Over the next few years, the dollar will be stronger and the euro weaker, and if that's the case, we want to take advantage of that by playing more of these European shows now, because they will be more profitable for us", claimed he.
