The soundtrack to Metallica’s 3D concert film, “Through The Never”, has earned a 2014 Grammy Award nomination in the Best Recording Package category.
"Metallica Through The Never (Music From The Motion Picture)" art directors Bruce Duckworth, Sarah Moffat and David Turner were honored with the nomination.
The project debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 album chart with opening week sales of 26,000 copies.
The set highlights performances from last year's shows at Rexall Place in Edmonton and Rogers Arena in Vancouver, where the band filmed all performance footage featured in the film.
The 56th Annual Grammy Awards will be held January 26, 2014 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and broadcast live on CBS from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).
“Through The Never” will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, digitally, and V.O.D. (Video On Demand) in North America on January 28 (for international dates, click here).
The DVD, Blu-Ray and 3D Blu-Ray will include extensive behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the film, including an 80+ minute “Making of Metallica Through The Never” documentary directed by Adam Dubin (A Year And A Half In The Life Of Metallica) and including two never before seen chapters.
A limited-edition deluxe package will be available with extra material, while the digital format will include the feature film as well as the “Making of” documentary.
