On their official website, the group said, "Today (Thursday, July 31) we shot a video. More like a short film really....for the first featured track from 'Death Magnetic,' directed by fellow Dane/filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg. We spent the better part of the afternoon playing 'The Day That Never Comes' to a sold-out crowd of dust and smoke just outside of Los Angeles, California.... Should be ready to share with all of you at the end of the month, give or take...more to come."
