Metallica are celebrating 30 years of The Black Album with two new releases: a remastered reissue of the original album, and The Metallica Blacklist, a collection of 53 covers by an eclectic range of artists.

• ORDER NOW: The August 2021 issue of Uncut

The remastered Black Album will land in multiple formats, including digital, 180-gram 2LP, standard CD, 3CD expanded edition and limited-edition boxset. The latter set includes the album remastered on 180G 2LP, a picture disc, three live LPs, 14 CDs (containing rough mixes, demos, interviews, live shows), six DVDs (containing outtakes, behind the scenes, official videos, live shows), a 120-page hardcover book, four tour laminates, three lithos, three guitar picks, a Metallica lanyard, a folder with lyric sheets, and a download card for the digital edition of the album.

The Metallica Blacklist has 53 tracks and almost as many genres, with a massive roster of artists covering their favourite tracks from The Black Album. The artists include Mac DeMarco, Rina Sawayama, Phoebe Bridgers, The Hu, Idles, St Vincent, Moses Sumney, Miley Cyrus, Elton John, Dave Gahan, Kamasi Washington and Igor Levit, among others.

The Metallica Blacklist will be available digitally, as a 4CD edition and as a limited-edition 7LP vinyl pressing.

Both of the releases will arrive digitally on September 10, with physical versions following in October. You can pre-order them here.

Proceeds from The Metallica Blacklist will be divided between charities of the artists’ choice and Metallica’s own All Within My Hands Foundation. Hear a snippet of what the album has to offer below.
