In the wake of his widely-acclaimed book, Misery Obscura, five iconic photographs from Eerie Von’s collection are now available exclusively at Generation Records NYC. Says Von, “After many years, and thousands of requests, I’m extremely pleased to offer a set of very fine prints of some of the iconic photos featured in my book.”

Each image is available in a strictly limited, numbered and signed series of 10 silver gelatin prints in both the 8″ x 10″ and 11″ x 14″ formats and were individually printed by hand directly from the original negatives onto fine, fiber-based paper – as approved by Von himself.

Universal Records reps apparently cancelled an interview between Metallica and writer Jonn Jeppsson of the Swedish paper Sydsvenskan after he reviewed a fan-remixed version of Death Magnetic that he downloaded off a bit torrent site.

The whole ordeal feels like a repeat of the Metallica vs. Napster debacle that the band have been working hard to overcome.

It’s sort of Metallica by numbers, but you know what, it’s already way better than St. Anger. Check out the video below

The artist track listing for the forthcoming Rock Band 2 video game has been announced.
