According to Russia-ic.com, Saint Petersburg band AMATORY - one of the most vivid samples of the Russian heavy music - will be opening for METALLICA at the band’s upcoming April concerts in Moscow.

As organizers of the concerts report, Metallica’s management has selected Amatory out of demo-records of several groups.

It is a reminder that in 2007 HIM was opening for Metallica at the Luzhniki Stadium – back then Russian heavy metal fans pelted the soloist of HIM with toilet paper rolls.

This time Metallica will give two concerts in Russia, both of which will take place in the Olympic Sports Palace in Moscow on April 24th/25th.
