Metallica have unveiled professionally shot footage of “Blackened,” the first track from their seminal 1988 album, …And Justice for All.
The band performed a rare intimate concert on November 4 at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. It was a special chance for Meatallica-devotees to catch the band in a 7,000-seat-theater. Tickets for the show went on sale on July 30 and quickly sold out. The setlist is available to view below.
Fans surely jealous to have missed out on the performance have a rather epic consolation prize, though. Yesterday (November 16) the band announced the opening of The Metallica Black Box. Debuting with The Black Album Exhibition, the Black Box will offer an unprecedented and ongoing deep dive into every era of Metallica from the early 80s garage days up to its present status as multi-platinum, stadium-filling hard rock standard bearers.
James, Lars, Kirk, and Robert will “unbox” their collections, pulling their favorite, most significant, and personally meaningful artifacts out of careful storage. Much more than a gateway to all things Metallica, The Metallica Black Box, in collaboration with Inveniem and Definitive Authentic, will provide access to the memories and experiences of the band members themselves, as it transports those who enter to virtually every imaginable time and place along the Metallica historical continuum. Features available exclusively in the Black Box will range from the virtual to the physical, from weekly livestream events to extremely limited signed memorabilia.
The Metallica Black Box launches with The Black Album Exhibition, featuring a collection of items curated to share in support of the 30th anniversary of the GRAMMY-winning, 16x platinum-certified 1991 album that not only gave Metallica its first No.1 album in no fewer than 10 countries, including a 4-week run at No.1 in the U.S., but remains unchallenged as the best-selling album in the history of Nielsen Soundscan, outselling every release in every genre over the past 30 years.
