Metallica’s self-titled 1991 album – otherwise known as The Black Album – turns 30 this year, and the band isn’t about to let that milestone go unnoticed. The Black Album gave the band its first chart-topping album in ten countries, including the U.S. where it spent four weeks atop the Billboard 200. It also yielded a string of singles led by “Enter Sandman,” a No. 16 hit on the Hot 100. To date, Metallica remains the biggest-selling album in the history of Nielsen’s SoundScan, a testament to the timeless metal riffs laid down by James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Jason Newsted, and Lars Ulrich. Metallica’s own Blackened Recordings will revisit The Black Album in a variety of newly-remastered formats (with the core album remastered by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering and the remaining material by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering) including a massive 14CD/6LP/6DVD box set stuffed with rough mixes, alternates, demos, rehearsals, interviews, single edits, and live shows.
