Metallica Teases Deluxe Remaster Of “And Justice For All”, Tour Begins Tomorrow

Posted on by

In a post to their Twitter account, Metallica teased their long-promised deluxe remaster of their classic 1988 album And Justice For All… (Elektra). They shared a short video, along with the hashtag #comingsoon. The band formed their own label, Blackened Records, to put out new records and specifically to release remasters of their back catalog, which they own the rights to, a rarity for most bands. Past deluxe remasters of albums like Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets have included versions on CD, custom vinyl, and special editions too.  AJFA contains classic anthems like ‘One’, ‘Blackened’, ‘Shortest Straw, ‘Eye Of The Beholder’ and more, but has been a source of contention of fans for years of its infamous lack of audible bass guitar. Metallica kicks off the new leg of their World Wired Tour tomorrow in Madison, WI. Continue reading →

Metallica To Crowdsource Photos, Videos and Audio for Classic Re-Issues

Posted on by

Kill-'Em-All-Back

 

Through a post on their website, Metallica has put out a call to fans for to crowdsource materials including old photos, audio and videos from the Kill `Em All (Megaforce) and Ride the Lightning (Elektra) era’s of the band. The materials will be used for anticipated deluxe remastered re-issues of those two thrash masterpieces covering the early part of the bands history from 1982-1984. People who think they can help can email into submissions@metclub.com

they did the same thing for a future Master of Puppets re-issue also due next year. Metallica is known to be one of the champion archivists of their own history and materials, as seen through a plethora of past releases, exclusive fan merch, the Metallica XXX -30th Anniversary Concerts, and many books; so call upon fans to provide new, unseen materials is curious, but cool.

There isn’t much of a disclaimer or legalese in the post, but submitting materials into the band likely means they have full use and ownership of them so think before sending any priceless mementos into the band.

The band is still working on the follow-up to 2009’s Death Magnetic, but has a busy end of the year line-up with a ‘Lords of Summer’ Record Store Day Black Friday single release, a performance at Blizz Con, and a week long residency on the Late Show With Craig Ferguson.
