Metallica's announced it on their website with a post titled The Last Piece of the Puzzle
Metallica has filmed a rockin video near Los Angeles for the first single of Death Magnetic, The Day That Never Comes. It was directed by drummer Lars Ulrich's Danish compatriot Thomas Vinterberg.
James Hetfield has discussed what Death Magnetic refers:
"Death Magnetic, at least the title, to me [...] started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like Layne Staley and a lot of the people that have died, basically rock and roll martyrs of sorts. And then it kind of grew from there, Thinking about death€¦ some people are drawn towards it, and just like a magnet, [and] other people are afraid of it and push away. And the concept that we're all gonna die sometimes is over-talked about and then a lot of times never talked about no one wants to bring it up; it's the big white elephant in the living room. But we all have to deal with it at some point."
The Metallica Lyric Lounge will have the lyrics for The Day That Never Comes and all of Death Magnetic as soon as its released.
