Metallica release second Death Magnetic single – “My Apocalypse”

On Monday, August 25th, Metallica released the second single of their new album (Death Magnetic), entitled “My Apocalypse”. You can find it on their website, http://Metallica.com , and with the release of this song, they said “Keep coming back Monday nights before September 12 for a full taste!”, so that will definitely be done I think ! My Apocalypse is certainly much faster than any Metallica song since about ‘Puppets, reminding me of “Battery”. Hetfield also uses a different style of vocals in parts, which is very hard to describe :S, listen and you will see.

It definitely is one of the more “upbeat”, “fast-tempo-ed” tracks of Death Magnetic.

Oh yeah, and I was right about the “My Apocalypse from Metallica’s Death Magnetic preview“!

EDIT: YouTube video + Lyrics

Claustrophobic, Crawl out of this skin
High Explosive, Reach and pull that pin
Fear Thy Name: Extermination
Desecrating hail of fire

So we cross that line
Into the crypt; Total eclipse
Suffer unto My Apocalypse

Deadly Vision, Prophecy reveal
Death Magnetic, Pulling closer still
Fear Thy Name: Annihilation
Desolating hail of fire

So we cross that line
into the crypt; total eclypse
Suffer unto My Apocalypse

My Apocalypse

Crushing Metal ripping skin
Tossing body manequins
Spilling blood bleeding gas

Mangled flesh snapping spines
Dripping bloody valentine
shattered face spitting glass

Split apart
Split apart
Split apart
Split

Spit it out

What makes me drift a little bit closer
Dead man takes the steering wheel
What makes me know what time to cross over
Want to repeat until i feel

See thru the skin the bones they are rattled
Future and past that disagree
Flesh falls away the bones they all shatter
Pass time to see the end in me

See the end in me

Claustrophobic, climb out of this skin
High explosive, Reach and pull that pin

Violate; annihilate
lose into my eyes
Obliterate; exterminate
If not accept; deny

Fear thy name as hell awakens
Destiny in hail of fire

So we cross that line
Into the crypt; total eclypse
Suffer unto my apocalypse

Tyrants awaken my apocalypse
Demon awaken my apocalypse
Heaven awaken my apocalypse
Suffer forever my apocalypse
