Metallica Set To Release Monster Cover Record of 'The Black Album'+ Remaster

Happy 30th birthday to The Black Album. There's a small little band that you might not have heard of yet called Metallica. The band have just made a ridiculously exciting announcement that on September 10th they'll be releasing The Black Album with a remastered edition of the infamous record, but the real headline here is their concept of The Metallica Blacklist.

The Metallica Blacklist is a reinvention of The Black Album, covered by 53 artists. This is going to be an absolutely massive release to celebrate the almighty album, featuring some of the band's biggest hits over the years like 'Enter Sandman', 'Sad But True', and 'Nothing Else Matters'. The way they've done it means that there'll be something for everyone, well you'd hope so at least with 53 artists involved (oh and some of them are some big names). Some of the artists you'll hear include Ghost, Weezer, Royal Blood, Biffy Clyro, Corey Taylor, The HU and Volbeat - just to name a few. And the best thing is, they're doing it all for charity. All profits from this mammoth release will be donated to charities of each contributing artist’s choice along with Metallica’s own foundation, All Within My Hands.

To give you a taste of what Metallica have in store for the September release, they've revealed their star-studded rendition of 'Nothing Else Matters' by Miley Cyrus featuring watt , Elton John , Yo-Yo Ma , Robert Trujillo, and Chad Smith. We don't need to tell you how big this is, but give it a listen below to hear how massive it is. What is particularly noteworthy about this track is the presence of Trujillo, who wasn't with Metallica yet and now gets to be involved in the life-changing record. Cyrus sounds amazing, and whilst there'll be haters for her involvement, you can't deny her range and note-hitting ability on the track. With Elton on keys and Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith on the drums, you're going to lose your absolute mind - it's great to watch with the video too, enjoy.

If that didn't do it for you, Columbian musician, song-writer and Latin Grammy Award winner Juanes has covered 'Enter Sandman' in a really different way. The coupled video really captures the essence of the song's lyrics and themes with a spinning bed taking on the darkness of the track.

Metallica have made sure you've got a glimpse of this bad-boy as well, along with announcement of the 30th anniversary celebration. Take a look below and see what you think.

Alright, collectors - we haven't forgotten about you. Let's talk business.
