Metallica’s recent Asian tour featured the band’s first-ever shows in China, and now the band is sharing video from the August 13 date in Shanghai, the second of two concerts in the city.
The footage features the band in the Tuning Room, and a performance of "Leper Messiah" from the concert.
Watch video from the August 13 Shanghai show here.
Up next, Metallica will play the Rock In Rio festival on September 19.
The Rio show comes a week before the launch of Metallica’s 3D film, “Through The Never.”
The movie 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 movie 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.
“Through The Never” will make its world premiere at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival on Monday, September 9 at 7:30 PM.
