Metallica Release All Nightmare Long Video

On December 7th, Metallica premiered their video for "All Nightmare Long" here. They also left the quote, "Spores, Soviets, and Zombies, Oh My! You might have seen a few rumblings over the past week . . . well here it is! Check it out!" The video is pretty lengthy, about nine minutes and features mostly animation about organisms that have the capability to bring back the dead. It is filled with many hidden messages, such as a Soviet and USA flag being mixed together and is a real treat to watch. Another interesting thing is that the band themselves never appear in the video.

"All Nightmare Long" will be released as a single on December 15th in Europe on the Vertigo label through Universal. The single will include the title track plus the accompanying video. A special "Single Collector Package" will consist of three CDs and will feature additional live recordings plus other previously unreleased material. More information will be made available soon.

"Death Magnetic", the current album from Metallica, was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) just six weeks after its release on September 12 by Warner Bros. Records.

"Death Magnetic" debuted atop The Billboard 200 chart, Metallica's fifth consecutive album to do so, making them the only band in chart history to have five albums debut at No. 1. It breaks the band's tie with The Beatles, U2, and the Dave Matthews Band, all of whom have four No. 1 album debuts. "Death Magnetic" remained at No. 1 for three consecutive weeks.

In addition to debuting at Number 1 atop Billboard's Rock, Alternative, Hard, and Internet album charts in the U.S., the album racked up No. 1 chart positions in 31 foreign countries, including the U.K., Canada, and Australia, and Top 3 chart slots in seven more, including Japan.

Wow, first for a Metallica page!

Easily my favourite Magnetic song. Glad it was a single.

[mentalrazorback]

Pretty cool video. Kind of weird to watch but still cool and a good song too...

[uk.mace]

That's wierd. The text makes it difficult to listen to I think

[highwind5150]

very very very strange video...but interesting to watch. IT looks like a trailer for a zombie videogame or something. lol

[IRONMAIDENTLICA]

that was weird as SHIT....still cool though, awesome song

[metallica144]

hmm, i had such beautiful imaginations about what it was goint to be like but the result did disappoint me a bit =( i think the text is too much distracting from the music and it feels like the video doesn't fit the song. But the song makes everything good =)

[blackenedktulu]

Terrible, Terrible, Terrible video. Worse than Fuel.... and this could've been a superb video, in my opinion... damn.

[Putchuk]

That was the best music video i ever seen. hands down.
...Ok song.

[Siro78]

That was cool, very different...ALMOST PINK FLOYDish

I always imagined an accompanying video be about hunting down Obama Bin Laden

[SlipKn0t005]

That was the most unique/weird video I've ever seen. The text does make it hard to listen to the song, I found myself tuning out the song to read the text. That was nothing close to what I was expecting but I like the fact that it was so unique. nicely done

[Spay]

Yes, that's exactly how the Cold War happened...

[Vauxite]

That was crap IMO

[CrazyPigeon]

Wow. That video was actually amazing.

[PLOP]

Worst video I've ever seen.

[M.B.MetalTabber]

Wow, that was craziness. Very cool.

[SuckItAndSee]

The intro to this song is cool, but when it get to that luck runs out part I switch it to the next song. This video is awful too. Cant believe they picked this song as a single. Bad choice

[Ita3rd]

Honestly this isn't one of my favorite songs off Death Magnetic, it's got a cool intro and bridge section but I'm not in love with it. The video is interesting to say the least, I think they should've put the band in there at some point because the way it is now it looks like some fan-video some guy posted on Youtube.

[pcline85]

IMO...garbage. It looks like anyone with a video editing program could have made this and slapped it on YouTube.

[tim western]

I turned it off after the intro and thats my fav DM song..

checked

[silencesoloud]

i thought it was pretty interesting...definately a different direction, I liked it!

[James_Het_Rules]

It started off slow lol... and i guess didn't seem to go with the song very well (luckily i love the song enough i listened all the way through lol) and towards the end, it definately got more interesting, and alot lot better!

[ddt1960]

after lars boy millionaire several times over cried to the Congress about free down loads ... metalica lost a lot of fans... he's not rich enough? did he stop free down loads?... kid rock needs to tell lars how reality is. he is a greedy immigrant that should have stayed in Scandinavia and he would have never become rich from the same fans that supported alcholica from their start. he is a greedy winny white boy that does not come close to being cool. he is the perfect uncool mediocre guy who beats on things inadequately for his millions and millions thanks lars for being a true money grubber you killed you fan base and i gave my alcoholica cds to the trash man.

[Siro78]

^ Scandinavia lol

Well by YOUR standards hes a uncool mediocre guy who beats things inadequately for his millions. Ok ddt1960 do a drum cover you Captain America you

[Mezmy]

Loved the video, too bad it doesn't really fit the song. Too diverting...

[Death_Rose66]

Love the song just about to watch video now

Ummmm, what? It was people like you who bought the albums that they were supporting. And theft is still theft, no matter who it's from.

[ptr362]

I hate the video, like people have said, the text is far too distracting, they could of done so much better than this. by far their worst video and possibly one of the worst music videos i have ever seen, but that's just my opinion.

[Schnitzel_Man]

Great song, but the clip hasn't won me over yet. TDTNC did after a while though, so we'll see.

[TK1]

my girlfriend is james hetfield's niece (thru marraige, not blood). she showed him a song my metal band was working on, which All Nightmare Long was heavily inspired by.

I inspired metallica. **** yeah.

[Galvatron]

Is this a joke?

Was that the real video?

That was just so bad that I have to think this is fake.

[Anjohl]

Amazing video..reminded me in a GOOD way of the "Do the Evolution" video. VERy creative. I like it.

[metalme31]

I wasn't sure what kind of video to expect for this song, all I know is that THIS wasn't it. After seeing the video, I'm suprised as hell and love it! Nice piece to add to their endless collection.

[Raven_Flight]

****ing weird!
Still really cool, this is the less commercial thing metallica has done in a long time!
And the video is interesting

[ironwolg]

it was a really interesting music video. it's a little zombie movie which is cool. see, everyone's getting pissed about the text, the point of a video is to watch, not so much to listen to the words of the song. that's what i got out of it, it was pretty disturbing to say the least though, which is definitely metal
\mm/

[nachtbericht]

i am really surprised by its video. I loved it.

The best word I can come up with to describe you is probably...dick. And Scandinavia? Get your facts straight shithead

[a drummer]

wow this video was awesome, most metallica videos are disturbing hahaha (one, until it sleeps, unforgiven)

[buddyhimself]

i hated that video. the song is mixed poorly and the video looks fan made. it appears as if metallica wants to be some type of experimental band, like pink floyd or king crimson.... they ruined it by explaining everything in text. they didnt leave anything for interpretation or imagination. i like parts of the song, but im not much of a metallica fan anymore, however i just think the video could have been much better.

[lanttikasa]

Weird video.. :S

[kornflipsk8er]

wow.really unique concept.The text was a bit of a problem but that would make a great zombie movie.I would go see it.

[Metalmaniac122]

Wow, they were pretty stoned when thay made that video.

[Leather Sleeves]

This video was awesome/horrible, and the song is awesome/horrible, generic compliment/criticism 37a-47c not found.

for sure but it was pretty cool

[stke]

That was an awesome video. Too bad it sort of cops out at the end, and it was longer than the song.

[frikko666]

wow..thats random xp

[*Gavsta*]

tht was absolute rubbish!! i couldnt watch it all i got up to 2 mins and thought wtf? they could of done something heapz better.. that so queer
