Spores, Soviets, and Zombies in Metallica’s new All Nightmare Long. This is what Rolling Stone had to say:
Metallica have unleashed their new video for the Death Magnetic epic “All Nightmare Long.” While the band doesn’t actually show up in the video, the nine-minute clip could be the best Metallica video since “One,” and possibly even the best video of the year.
Combining the a Grindhouse-esque worn film look with equal parts Russian educational documentary, Watership Down style animation and Re-Animator, the video tells the story of a strange spore that falls to Earth that first heals wounds and revives dead pets but eventually leads to a zombie takeover in the former USSR. It’s like Planet Terror wrapped into ten minutes without the terrible ending and Quentin Tarantino cameo.
Here is the full video, Krik Hammett’s explanation on the video theme and the full version of the first time ever that the guys played All Nightmare Long live in Calgary, Alberta on December 5th 2008.
All Nightmare Long will be released in 3 CD European only set. The collector’s digi pack with the album version of “All Nightmare Long” along with “Wherever I May Roam” and “Master of Puppets” recorded live in Berlin at Metallica’s Death Magnetic release bash at the 02 World back in September will be released on December 15th.
If you would like to complete your single collection, there are two more components available in what is called a “J card”. CD 2 has the track again, “Blackened” and “Seek and Destroy,” also recorded at the Berlin 02.
Finally, if you just have to own the entire set, there is a third release, a DVD including a 10 minute mini-documentary about Metallica’s day in Berlin along with 20 minutes worth of live tracks from that night’s album release party, as well another 15 minute movie of Metallica in the tuning room at the “Rock Im Park” show earlier that summer.
