Metallica recently announced the plethora of different ways (CD, digital, vinyl) for fans to get their latest album, Death Magnetic, when it comes out this September.
Yesterday, they announced one other way to get the record... in a coffin. The band has now confirmed a special collector’s edition package for the disc, which comes in a coffin box. Along with Death Magnetic, the set also includes a CD with demos of the songs, a making-of-the-album DVD, an exclusive T-shirt, a flag, guitar picks, a poster and a collector’s credit card embossed with a code to redeem a free download of a special European show happening in September.
The band is still finishing up the artwork for the special package and will post pictures once they are done.

More details as they become available.
