Heavy metal band Metallica is among nine nominees announced for induction next year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Los Angeles band jumped on the heavy metal wave of the '80s and rose to become the most successful and acclaimed heavy metal band of their era - a position they've consistently held for over a quarter century.
Last month the band released Death Magnetic, which marks a return to its early speed metal days.
Artists become eligible for the Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first single or album.
The 2009 ceremony will be open to the public for the first time, and held in Cleveland, the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Museum, for the first time since 1997.
