On 8 March 2016, the entertainment web site HeavierMetal.net published a fake news article claiming that musician James Hetfield was leaving the band Metallica in order to release a solo country album: The above-quoted article is a work of fiction. HeavierMetal.net is a fake news web site that specializes in the niche market of heavy metal-oriented humor and satire. While the site itself does not feature a readily available disclaimer identifying its content as fiction, the accompanying Facebook page does, describing HeavierMetal.net as the satirical sister site of the music news web site Rockfeed.net: James Hetfield has not left Metallica, and he is not planning a country album. This rumor originated on an entertainment web site that specializes in satirical music news.
