Its 1991 release not only gave Metallica its first #1 album in no fewer than 10 countries, including a 4-week run at #1 in the U.S., its unrelenting series of singles \u2014 &#8220;Enter Sandman&#8221;, &#8220;The Unforgiven&#8221;, &#8220;Nothing Else Matters&#8221;, &#8220;Wherever I May Roam&#8221;, and &#8220;Sad But True&#8221; \u2014 fueled the band&#8217;s rise to stadium headlining, radio and MTV dominating household name status. The album&#8217;s reception from the press was similarly charged, building over the years from the top 10 of the 1991 Village Voice Pazz &amp; Jop national critics poll to becoming a constant presence in the likes of Rolling Stone&#8217;s 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. The album&#8217;s impact and relevance continue to grow\u2014as proven by one indisputable fact:&nbsp;The Black Album&nbsp;remains unchallenged as the best-selling album in the&nbsp;history of Nielsen Soundscan,&nbsp;outselling every release&nbsp;in&nbsp;every genre&nbsp;over the past 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">To commemorate its 30th anniversary, the Grammy-winning, 16x platinum-certified Black Album is receiving its definitive re-release. Remastered for ultimate sound quality, The Black Album&nbsp;remaster&nbsp;will be available in multiple configurations including 180 gram Double Vinyl LP, Standard CD and 3 CD Expanded Edition, digital, and Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set (containing&nbsp;the album remastered on 180G 2LP, a picture disc, three live LPs, 14 CDs (containing rough mixes, demos, interviews, live shows), 6 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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Much more than a mere tribute album,\u00a0The Metallica Blacklist\u00a0celebrates the 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The Metallica Blacklist&nbsp;offers up new dimensions of the record whose gravitational pull first drew the mainstream to Metallica\u2014and 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.&nbsp;The Metallica&nbsp;Blacklist&#8217;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,&nbsp;metal, world music and many, many more\u2026&nbsp;and for 50+ good causes: Profits&nbsp;will be divided evenly between&nbsp;charities of the artist&#8217;s choice and Metallica&#8217;s All Within My Hands Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The Metallica Blacklist&nbsp;is a fitting and limitless homage, one that features bands who&#8217;ve shared stages with Metallica alongside artists who are younger than the original album. It&#8217;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&#8217;s united them for this album: 1 Album. 12 Songs. 53 Artists. Unlimited Possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The Metallica Blacklist&nbsp;will be available in formats including digital, 4 CD and a limited edition 7 LP vinyl pressing.
