Summary:



There's been an unusual trend in 2011 based around the idea of releasing previously unavailable material. Nile re-released their first demo and Hell completely re-recorded a collection of songs from the 80s for an overdue full-length while bands like Pentagram and Megadeth scanned their archives for a few forgotten tunes to add to their mostly new efforts. In a way similar to Halcyon Way's IndoctriNation, Metallica has put out a digital EP consisting of a series of outtakes from 2008's Death Magnetic. This release combined with the band's recent 30th anniversary shows suggest that the band is trying to do some damage control in the wake of the ill-fated Lulu, but this isn't the first time Metallica has given its fans some rare material. And there's nothing to be cynical about if the music itself is good, right?



For the most part, it is pretty clear to see why these songs didn't make it onto Death Magnetic; they’re definitely not inadequate songs but rather cut from a different cloth. While that album leaned towards thrash metal, this EP is more hard rock dominated and features a more melodic presence. But at the same time, there are still some elements of thrash on here. The introduction of the opening “Hate Train” and the verses on the closing “Rebel of Babylon” stand out in this regard though both songs are largely melodic as a whole. “Just A Bullet Away” also has a nice spring in its step though its bouncy riffs are more along the lines of Opeth’s “The Baying Of The Hounds” than anything particularly neck-breaking.
