Metallica's new album will be titled "Death Magnetic" and is expected in September via Warner Bros. The news was revealed over the weekend via the band's Web site.
No new material has been played live at the band's handful of recent shows, but British journalists have heard rough mixes of six untitled songs, several of which cross the seven-minute mark.
"Death Magnetic" was produced by Rick Rubin and is the follow-up to 2003's "St. Anger," which has sold 1.76 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Following its Friday headlining slot at Bonnaroo, the band is taking a month off before hitting the European festival circuit through late July.
