Metallica have released a performance of "Master Of Puppets" from their upcoming 3D film, “Through The Never.”
The clip features several scenes from the movie, which premiered earlier this month at the Toronto International Film Festival.
“Master Of Puppets” is included in both the film and on the 2-CD soundtrack, "Metallica Through The Never (Music From The Motion Picture)." Due September 24, the project will highlight performances from last year's shows at Rexall Place in Edmonton and Rogers Arena in Vancouver, where the band filmed all performance footage featured in the film.
“Through The Never” tells the story of a band crew member named Trip (played by Dane DeHaan) who is sent out on a mission during Metallica's live set in front of a sold-out arena: to meet a disabled truck and retrieve a particular item. However, the routine task turns into a surreal odyssey when Trip's van is hit by another vehicle, and he subsequently finds himself up against a death-dealing horseman. As Trip flees through desolate streets, he has only his wits to help him avoid the deadly horseman and deliver Metallica's cargo.
The film will debut in IMAX theatres across North America for a one-week engagement starting Friday, September 27; it will then expand into additional theatres on October 4.
