DENVER (Billboard) - Every song from Metallica's upcoming album "Death Magnetic" will be available for gamers to download and play on "Guitar Hero III" and its sequel "Guitar Hero World Tour" on the same as-yet-unannounced day it is released to retail, the band said on its Web site.
Microsoft also mentioned the availability during the E3 gaming conference underway in Los Angeles. A dedicated Metallica "Guitar Hero" game in the vein of the recent Aerosmith title is also in the offing, but it's unknown when it will see the light of day.

Guitar Hero Rocks with a Band
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Activision Inc (ATVI.O: Quote, Profile, Research) is adding drums, bass guitar, and microphone to its popular "Guitar Hero" video game, a move aimed at winning away fans of MTV's rival musical title "Rock Band".
"Guitar Hero World Tour" will include the ability for two groups of four people each to compete online, as well as let players compose and play their own music, Activision said on Thursday.
The game will feature songs from bands such as Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park and Sublime, with every song being an original master track, unlike past games where many of the songs were cover versions.
Due out in the fall, the game will mark a new direction for the "Guitar Hero" franchise, in which players push colored buttons on a plastic guitar-shaped controller to match notes on the screen.
"I certainly think it takes the edge off 'Rock Band'," said Mike Hickey, an analyst with Janco Partners. "What's 'Rock Band' going to do now, add a flute and banjo?"
Activision's money-spinning franchise got its first real competition last November when Viacom's (VIAb.N: Quote, Profile, Research) MTV unit launched "Rock Band", which featured drumming and singing in addition to guitar playing.
The "Guitar Hero" series has raked in more than a billion dollars for Activision and has helped drive a 72 percent rise in the company's stock over the past 12 months.
That compares to virtually flat performance in the shares of Activision's top rival Electronic Arts Inc (ERTS.O: Quote, Profile, Research), which distributes "Rock Band" for MTV.
Shares in Activision were up 19 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $32.82 in late morning trading on Nasdaq. Activision did not say how much the new game will cost. Last year's "Guitar Hero 3", which came with one wireless guitar controller, sold for about $90. "Rock Band", which came with one guitar, a drum kit, and a microphone, sold for $170.
"World Tour" will be the third "Guitar Hero" game coming out this year.
Next month will see the launch of "Guitar Hero Aerosmith" focusing on the best-selling American rock group, as well as a portable version called "On Tour" for Nintendo Co Ltd's (7974.OS: Quote, Profile, Research) popular DS handheld device.
"Guitar Hero World Tour" will come out in versions for Microsoft Corp's (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) Xbox 360, Nintendo's Wii, and Sony Corp's (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 consoles.

Halo 3 al Guitar Hero III
Some Guitar Hero fans have been unhappy with the cost of downloadable songs for the series since its debut on the Xbox 360 earlier this year. Microsoft and Activision are set to silence those complaints for at least one day, as the pair announced that in appreciation to their fans, they will offer the "Mjolnir Mix" of the Halo theme song as a free downloadable track for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on Thanksgiving.
Written and partly performed by Martin O'Donell and Michael Salvatori, the track also features some guitar shredding courtesy of real-life guitar hero Steve Vai. Vai got his start playing with Frank Zappa, has since played with Whitesnake, participated in the guitar-centric G3 tour, and showcased his skills in the 1986 film Crossroads, where he was the devil's surrogate axe-man in a guitar duel for the soul of Ralph Macchio's character.
This is the second time Activision has produced free Guitar Hero III track downloads. The first such offering allowed players to play the game's three boss battles all the way through as standard songs apart from the game's career mode.
