Metallica, the biggest metal band in the world, have announced today the opening of their very own record label Blackened Records. On top of that, the band has also announced that they have acquired the ownership rights to the masters of ALL of their recordings. This was part of the contract the band signed with Warner Music Group back in 1994, where the band would be given back the masters today, Nov. 30th, 2012.

Singer/guitarist James Hetfield commented, “We would like to thank everyone at the Warner Music Group for 28 years of a fantastic relationship, particularly since 1994 where we truly felt we had partners in every aspect of our business in North America.”

Meanwhile, Lars Ulrich talks about Blackened Records: “It’s always been about control for us as a band. Forming Blackened Recordings is the ultimate in independence, giving us 100% control and putting us in the driver’s seat of our own creative destiny.”

Legendary metal band Metallica have announced the full details for the upcoming live DVD Quebec Magnetic, which will see a release date of Dec. 10th. The footage was filmed during two performances of the World Magnetic tour in Quebec City in fall of 2009. 35,000 fans got to vote on the setlist, which you can see below.

The release will also be the first self-release the band has done. Metallica states, “This release is a first for us. Yes boys and girls, the DVD and Blu-ray will be coming out on our very own label in North America! There are still some “i’s” being dotted and “t’s” crossed, so we can’t give you a name or fancy logo just yet, but we’re pretty excited that for the first time we get to hold all the reins on a release from start to finish. Since we now get to call all the shots, the double DVD and single disc Blu-ray will be available for a price we thought was very Metallica fan friendly – suggested retail will be $15.98 for either format.”
