Metallica Deny New Single Makes Political Statement About War
Posted by: admin in Album info, Video
Metallica have denied that ‘The Day That Never Comes’, the first song from their new album, is an attempt to send a political statement about America’s ongoing involvement with the war in Iraq.The video for the song, which is due to be released in early September, depicts a solider aiding a wounded solider.
Speaking about the track, frontman James Hetfield said he hoped the band could put “the human element in what is an unfortunate part of life.
“There are people over there dealing with situations like this, and we’re showing the human part of being there,” he said.
“There are so many celebrities that soapbox their opinions, and people believe it’s more valid because they’re popular. For us, people are people — you should all have your own opinion.”
He told MTV that he hoped the video would help “cut through” peoples opinions of the war.
“The politics and the religion tend to separate people, and what we’re trying to do is bring it together with the common thread of resentment and forgiveness,” he added.
‘The Day That Never Comes’ is the first song from the bands eagerly anticipated new album ‘Death Magnetic’, which is released worldwide on September 12th.
The band also confirmed last week that they would play two club shows in Berlin and London this September.
