It’s no secret that Metallica’s self-titled fifth album – aka The Black Album – is one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed records of all time with global sales of over 35 million, and a series of unrelenting singles including “Enter Sandman,” “The Unforgiven”, “Nothing Else Matters,” “Wherever I May Roam,” and “Sad But True.” Its 1991 release propelled Metallica to bona fide household name superstardom, and its impact and relevance have only grown with the years: The Black Album remains the best-selling album of the past three decades, and one of only two albums that have spent 550+ weeks on the Billboard 200.
In celebration of the iconic album’s 30th anniversary, The Black Album is reissued here in a must-have multi-format box set with a plethora of revealing bonus material and memorabilia galore! The standard album has been newly remastered for ultimate sound quality by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering and all other content was remastered by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering. All content was overseen by executive producer Greg Fidelman.
This deluxe box set (with magnetic flap) of Metallica (Remastered) includes the album remastered on 180-gram double LP and CD, “Sad But True” picture disc, three live LPs, 14 CDs and six DVDs featuring unreleased content (live shows, rough mixes, demos, etc), MP3 download card of all audio, four tour laminates, lanyard, three lithos, three guitar picks, lyric folder and sheets, and a 120-page hardcover book with never-before-seen photos plus stories from those who were there.
