The Metallica Blacklist celebrates the 30th anniversary and enduring influence of this musical milestone with one of the most ambitious projects ever conceived by the Metallica team: An unprecedented 50+ artists spanning an unbelievably vast range of genres, generations, cultures, continents and more, each contributing a unique interpretation of their favorite Black Album cut.

Much more than a mere tribute, The Metallica Blacklist offers up new dimensions of the record whose gravitational pull first drew the mainstream to Metallica in 1991—and provides new insights into the universal and timeless appeal that kept it there: the boundary-smashing influence these 12 songs have had on fans and musicians of all stripes. Blacklist’s 53 tracks find singer songwriters, country artists, electronic and hip hop artists sharing their love of these songs alongside punk rockers, indie darlings, icons of rock, metal, world music and many, many more…

The Metallica Blacklist is a fitting and limitless homage, one that features bands who’ve shared stages with Metallica alongside artists who are younger than the original album. It’s a truly staggering, at times mystifying assemblage of musicians, dozens of whom have little to nothing in common other than the shared passion for the music that’s united them for this album. And really… nothing else matters.

Metallica, the self-titled fifth studio album released in 1991 quickly became known as the Black Album. The landmark record turned Metallica into global megastars and is one of the best-selling albums of all time. To date it has sold in excess of 35 million copies worldwide. Photographer Ross Halfin was with the band during the album sessions at One on One Studios in North Hollywood and documented the 300 date tour that followed between 1991 and 1993. The hectic performing schedule is mixed in with many unique portrait sessions and candid, backstage documentary style photography, rehearsals, interviews, band meetings and travel.

This official Metallica book features many classic and previously unpublished images with introductions by Ross Halfin, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Jason Newsted and Robert Trujillo who performed on part of the tour with his band Suicidal Tendencies. Printed with a metallic silver jacket with block-foil lettering, this volume is an epic celebration of one of rock’s most legendary albums.

"By the time the songs and the recording were coming together, the confidence level was at an all-time high and we felt better than ever about who we were and how we viewed ourselves with regards to being photographed." – Lars

Neil M.

In for the deluxe set. Easy pass on the cover album.

gerrythedon

I'm getting all 3... I hope

Why So Blu?

I'm interested in the cover album. There's some good artists on it, and not just from the states.

cultshock

I've bought the previous box sets, but here's where I jump off that train (the only other box set I could see myself getting would be Garage Inc., whenever that comes out), so it will just be the double vinyl of the album for me. And fuck no on the covers album, don't care about most of the artists involved, and way too much repetition, do we need twelve covers of "Nothing Else Matters"?? That album would be a fucking chore to listen to in track order, no thanks.

Josh-da-man

The Black Album isn't my favorite, but I have the deluxe boxed sets for "Kill'em All," "Ride the Lightning," "Master of Puppets," and "...and Justice for All," so I'll buy this to keep it going. (I'd probably pick up "Load" and "Re-Load," too.)

The covers album looks interesting, too, and I might pick that up. That's a pretty eclectic group of artists they have there.

Phodg

No kidding. Sounds like something they could use at Guantanemo against enemy combatants.

morriscroy

This was the type of box st I would have purchased first day if I was younger. Not today anymore.

Out of such metallica box sets, the only one I might be willing to buy first day could be Death Magnetic that is remixed without the brickwalling debauchery of the original 2008 release.

GuessWho

Spotify has the remastered Enter Sandman, the Tushina Airfield live version and the 7/12/90 demo available for streaming.

stvn1974

If it were all on CDs I would bite but I don't do vinyl. I wish they would do it like the GNR Appetite set where they keep the formats separate. And also do multichannel BDs.

I am getting the book.

cdollaz

Pass on everything.

If they would have a cd version with the original album and one of the live shows, I would be down for that, but I have no interest in the riffs/demos stuff and the mishmash live disc.

As for the covers thing, I think it is a really interesting idea and after watching the trailer, a few of them would be interesting, but a large majority of them did absolutely nothing for me. I almost stopped watching early on when that clip of Miley Cyrus wailing was shown.

[email protected]

There's also going to be a eight-part podcast with the band members and others, talking about the making of the album. Set for an August release, I believe.

DVD Josh

I'm in for the 3CD edition, but I really don't need all that other stuff in the Super Deluxe. It will make its way to YT at some point, and I'll check it out then.'

Remaster of Sandman sounds great. Almost makes the song palatable to hear again!

GuessWho

If the previous releases are any indication, Spotify and others will have everything from the super deluxe on day one.

mndtrp

The covers album would be difficult to listen to straight through. Depending on the quality of the songs though, it'd be fun to have them pop up in a shuffled playlist here and there.

I've enjoyed the rough mixes and works in progress from the previous boxed sets, but not enough to go back and specifically listen to a disc all the way through. Quite a lot of stuff with this set, I look forward to listening through it once it shows up on Spotify.

flansered

I think that the covers album is meant to be more a pick and choose thing. I can't imaging anyone wanting to 7 versions of a song in a row. But listening to the 5 minute commercial for the covers album made me kind of curious about it. Some of the versions sounded drastically different, which is more interesting than a bunch of lazy covers that sound just like the original version.

DVD Josh

Not a subscriber, and YT is free.

JZ1276

Picked up the Walmart exclusive marbled vinyl edition last month on eBay.
This already has a DVD-Audio release in 5.1 so I don't see why they didn't transfer it to Blu-Ray and include it being that the mixes already exist and there's already so much included on this set as it is.

Josh-da-man

The covers album definitely sounds like something I'd rather listen to on CD or MP3 than vinyl, so I can skip over tracks I don't like, and don't have to listen to twelve covers of "Nothing Else Matters" back-to-back.
