The band - once known for their hard-line anti-Napster stance - have also signed a deal with Vivendi Universal Games to develop a video game due out in 2005. The band will collaborate on the game with "Matrix Reloaded" artist Jeff Darrow. Metallicavault.com, the band's new online venture, debuts tomorrow - the same day their new album, "St. Anger", hits stores. "We've always wanted our fans to experience our music online," Lars Ulrich told The Hollywood Reporter. "Up until now, the existing distribution methods have not passed the kind of quality standards our fans have come to expect from us."
