I Disappear

"I Disappear" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica. The song was recorded as a contribution to the Mission: Impossible II soundtrack and reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks for seven (non-consecutive) weeks in summer 2000. It does not appear on any of Metallica's studio albums, making it the band's only standalone single. The song, which won a 2000 Metal Edge Readers' Choice Award for "Song of the Year From a Movie Soundtrack," is the last Metallica studio recording to feature bassist Jason Newsted.

The discovery of an unfinished version of the song in early 2000 on the peer-to-peer file sharing network Napster helped bring the illegal sharing of mp3 files to the spotlight, leading to the lawsuits that eventually brought down the original incarnation of Napster.

This May Be the Year I Disappear

This May Be the Year I Disappear is the second studio album by American hard rock band Recover, released on October 12, 2004. It is the band's first release on a major label and last album release before Recover went on hiatus in 2005. The cd version of the album features enhanced material.

Background

In late 2002 the band would sign to Universal Records and its imprint label Strummer Recordings, after touring in support of their EP Ceci n'est pas recover.

Writing and production

This May Be the Year I Disappear was recorded in summer of 2003 at World War 4 in Austin, Texas with producer Rory Phillips originally as demos, later re-mixed by Andy Wallace in Los Angeles, California. The band initially started production on the album with producer Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Good Charlotte) at NRG Studios in Los Angeles, California. Production on the album would come to an abrupt end and the session would be scrapped after rough mixes were submitted to the label. The band would then retreat back to World War 4 in Austin, re-mixing some of the original album demos as well as recording a few new tracks which would make the album cut. (Some of the unused material would later end up on the 2011 release "Challenger".)
