Metallica will release a companion soundtrack package to their upcoming 3D film, “Through The Never.”
Due September 24, the 2-CD set, "Metallica Through The Never (Music From The Motion Picture)" will highlight performances from last year's shows at Rexall Place in Edmonton and Rogers Arena in Vancouver, where the band filmed all performance footage featured in the film.
The soundtrack is available for digital pre-order tonight at midnight EST and both the CD and digital album will be available at all retailers. There will also be a vinyl edition of the soundtrack album available in both 33 1/3RPM and special limited numbered 45RPM versions later in the fall.
"Let's hear it for the old-school soundtrack!" said drummer Lars Ulrich. “Not only are we beyond psyched about our movie coming your way shortly, but the fact that we get to share the music directly in all these formats is way cool."
“Through The Never” tells the story of a band crew member (played by Dane DeHaan) who is sent out on a mission during Metallica's live set in front of a sold-out arena; while on this mission, he unexpectedly has his life turned completely upside down.
The film will debut in IMAX theatres across North America for a one-week engagement starting Friday, September 27; it will then expand into additional theatres on October 4.
Up next, Metallica kick off an 8-date Asian tour on August 10 in Tokyo, a trip that will see the group’s first shows in China.
