Quebec Magnetic is a live concert video album by Metallica, documenting two shows the band played at the Colisée Pepsi in Quebec City, Canada, on October 31 and November 1, 2009, on their World Magnetic Tour, released on December 11, 2012.[1][2] The album is the first to be released via Metallica's own label, Blackened Recordings.[3]

The album was announced on September 20, 2012, with fans voting online to decide which of the two shows recorded would be shown in its entirety; the remaining songs will be shown as "extras" on the album.[1] On October 22, the album's track list, release date and cover art was released.[2] A 33-second teaser trailer for the album was released on November 19.[4]

The album sold about 14,000 copies during the first week after its release, charting at number two on the Billboard Top Music Videos chart.[5]
