Come and see what it does inside!

Metallica have launched their own LiveMetallica iPhone app!

A full statement from the band on the iPhone app reads:

“In our ongoing efforts to be of service and give you as many options as possible in the digital era, we asked the brainiacs that help us out with LiveMetallica.com to come up with a super-cool iPhone application that creates a streaming interface to your LiveMetallica account. In non-tech talk, that means that any show you have downloaded from the site will automatically stream to your iPhone once you launch the $.99 app. And the bonus is that the latest show on the site will always be streaming for free!”

“It’s pretty simple — search ‘Metallica‘ in the iPhone App Store to find the Live Metallica app. Purchase the app, log into your existing LiveMetallica.com account or register as a new user, and wha-la . . . every show you’ve purchased is there under the ‘listen’ tab, along with a free stream of the latest show on the tour! You can listen to samples of over 5,300 live songs from close to 300 shows, and if you hear something you like, purchase it through the app and it will automatically stream on your phone . . . of course you can download your purchase to your computer later at your leisure. Shows from the free ‘Vault’ section of the site are always streaming, and you can check out photos and notes from almost every show going back to 2004 when the site launched.”

“Just like any new technology, we’re already thinking about what comes next, so please give us your feedback and ideas. And yes, a version is in the works to accommodate the addition of single track downloads from the site. Naturally we’ll keep you posted on all the developments!”

Metal Hammer has its own iPhone App with all the best stuff from the site and some added bonuses.

As if being able to access all of our awesomeness online wasn’t enough, you can now get all the latest Hammer news, reviews, interviews and gig listings direct to your iPhone.

And it’s completely free! Download it to your iPhone or iPod Touch here.

As well as all of the regular features, you can download and stream the Metal Hammer podcast and watch MHTV!

Also, you can listen to the Metal Hammer Soundtrack: a compilation of tracks from the bands featured in the month’s issue, all free for you to listen to as you read!

You can also follow us on Twitter/MySpace/FaceBook via the app as well so you’ll never be out of touch or out of the loop.
