Featured on the downloadable album will be two Guitar Hero exclusive renditions of Suicide & Redemption with extended solos by James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett. Gamers looking to shred, drum and wail away to the Death Magnetic downloadable album need only purchase the content once as it is forward compatible and will integrate seamlessly with Guitar Hero World Tour when it launches this October.

In addition to the two exclusive versions of Suicide & Redemption, Guitar Hero fans will live out the surreal Metallica experience with: That Was Just Your Life, The End of the Line, Broken, Beat & Scared, The Day That Never Comes, All Nightmare Long, Cyanide, The Unforgiven Ill, The Judas Kiss and My Apocalypse.

"We've been working very closely with Metallica and we’re extremely excited to offer Death Magnetic not only in its entirety, but also with the exclusive recordings of Suicide & Redemption as downloadable content to Guitar Hero fans," said Tim Riley, Vice President of Music Affairs for Activision Blizzard. "We're proud to be setting a new precedent for our two industries, making an entire new album available in two different mediums simultaneously."
