Article here

At first I thougt it was a joke, but it doesn't appear to be.

All I have to say is... WTF is the matter with the freaking morons? Next thing you know they will bitch that St. Anger isn't selling and are going to say that Tommy Motolla is racist... oh sorry that was Michael Jackson, they will say it is because of people downloading it. All the while ignoring the fact that everyone thinks there music sucks, and they as people are whiny little bitches that deserve to be taken out back and beat with whips.

here is Mettalica's official website on the sunject, so it apparently isn't a joke.

That is from a parody site made to look like Metallica's.

Ok. apparently the guy who wrote the story in the original link plays for Unfaith... so this does look like a joke.

That's some funny stuff.

BRILLIANT!

This is the best scheme to get people to download a band's music I've ever seen! Hell, it worked on me! I saw the part that said "They use it on the song samples on their website.." and went to the bottom of the page to find their website, just to see if I could tell what was going on! THEN I discovered it was a hoax... but I'd already heard their sample.

Too bad the music sucks. But it's a brilliant publicity stunt, nevertheless.

I wonder if Metallica will sue for using their name in a hoax like this

Thats the same thing I was thinking. That this could turn into a lawsuit against the other band for Libel.
