Metallica have just premiered the video for their single "The Day That Never Comes" on their MySpace page. The epic clip was directed by Danish director Thomas Vinterberg and filmed this past July in southern California.

On working with the acclaimed filmmaker, singer/guitarist James Hetfield explained to MTV.com, "That's the beauty, I think, of writing vague but powerful lyrics — that someone like a movie director can interpret it in his own way and obviously, someone creative is able to take the metaphors and apply them to whatever he needs in his own life."

The band have also just unveiled another song from their upcoming album. The hard-charging track, "Cyanide" is now available for sale on iTunes (link).
