Metallica online launch

Metallica has launched the website mission metallica.com to nurture fans through to the release of their next album.

Mission Metallica will feature riff and segments from the yet-to-be titled album, video of the writing and recording of the album, live tracks and messages from the band.

The site will launch soon but currently features a video introduction to the album and site.

Meanwhile, the band will play a benefit gig for the Silverlake Conservatory of Music this Wednesday night at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles.

System of a Down's Daron Malakian and John Dolmayan will also perform with their new act Scars on Broadway.

The Silverlake Conservatory of Music was founded by Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers as a non-profit organization.

Money raised will help low-income students.

Tickets are $200.
