Death Magnetic Week is here! We will be announcing more and more things MetPage is doing in prep of this week so keep your eyes and ears open!

This week, we've:
  • Started the countdown to the release of Death Magnetic with our 27 Years of Metallica ratio free torrents. Anyone is free to download these torrents any time they wish but the torrents are only ratio free if you start the download the day it is put up. Please see this thread for the schedules of Torrents to be released each day between now and September 12.
  • Added a Death Magnetic Week Banner to the V6 and Black Album skins
  • Started Competition One: Shoop Magnetic

Well it is here, Welcome to Death Magnetic Week!! You may have noticed that some of the normal skins are missing. Well that is by design as we've only made the skins with our special Death Magnetic headers for the week (don't worry the rest will be back next week).

We are starting some new contests this week and will be announcing winners to some of the others and our 27 years of Metallica, ratio free torrents continue.

Join us in the celebration of the official release of Death Magnetic (even though most of you've already downloaded and played the begeegees out of it already!

Death Magnetic Week is Here!! With only 2 more days till the official release of Death Magnetic, MetPage is celebrating in a big way!!!

Here are some things you may have noticed right off the bat: The skin options have changed to the V6 or Black Album Skins with the Death Magnetic Week Headers. Don't worry the other's will be back next week! Also we've turned MetPage in to Death Magnetic Country, so don't be alarmed that all the country flags have mysteriously changed to display the DM Country Flag and the avatars/signatures have turned into Death Magnetic Week Avatars/Signatures. These will turn back Saturday :P

Some other things happening this week are:
Voting for the Shoop Magnetic Contest: https://forum.metpage.org/viewtopic.php?t=19420
The Metallica Experience Contest is underway: https://forum.metpage.org/viewtopic.php?t=19316
The Photo With Death Magnetic Contest will begin on Friday after the release of Death Magnetic: https://forum.metpage.org/viewtopic.php?t=19429 The prize for this one is the MetClub Membership or Renewal

Stay tuned and visit MetPage.org daily for more surprises, contest and cool ways to celebrate the release of Death Magnetic!

i'm with kat on this. I changed my country flag and location back as soon as I noticed it was changed last night.

I'm happy to partake in the flashmob avatar/sig business but would have prefered to keep the MOP skin. I think it should have been an opt in thing rather than forcing everyone to do it. I still don't quite understand how forcing us to use the black album or v6 skin is celebrating death magnetic week.

Everything will be back to normal on Saturday morning. 3 days out of 365 won't hurt for not having your country and signature. Thanks for participating in Death Magnetic Week!
