The legendary heavy metal group "Metallica" rocked Sofia's "Vasil Levski" stadium for hours Friday night.
The musicians performed before a crowd of over 50 000 enthusiastic fans. The repertoire included both old hits and new songs.
With this splendid concert the godfathers of heavy metal fulfilled their 10-years old promise to return to Bulgaria, given in Plovdiv during the groups' fist ever concert in the country.
Two American bands - "The Sword" and "Down" supported "Metallica" at the show and were well accepted by the public. The real party began however, when "Metallica" appeared on stage to award their fans with a splendid light show while their often controversial music, combining the classical heavy metal sound with a more contemporary one was once again a demonstration of musicianship of the highest class.
The group introduced their new bassist Robert Trujillo who replaced Jason Newsted in 2003.
The vocal James Hetfield was again the biggest attraction for the audience since generations of Bulgarian heavy metal fans grew up with his familiar voice.
"Metallica" did not play any of the 10 songs from the "Death Magnetic" album that is to be released in September. The only thing the musicians have revealed so far was that the songs from the album are offering a great variety to the "Metallica" fans. The "Death Magnetic" album is on its way to turn into a presales' blockbuster in this branch.
The group arrived in Sofia with tons of pyrotechnical equipment loaded on 15 trucks accompanied by several dozens of experts from their technical team. The show's light effects only weighed more than 40 tons.
The "Vassil Levski" national stadium was under heavy security Friday night with numerous guards blocking off the area.
Metallica came to Bulgaria at the invitation of Balkan Entertainment with the support of Kamenitza, Coca-Cola and Ford Moto-Phoe.
