The band’s seventh studio record – which debuted the US charts and sold more than 4 million copies in the region – will be available in multiple formats, including 180g 2LP, CD, 3CD expanded edition, cassette, and digital (including a Spatial Audio mix using Atmos), and as a Deluxe Box Set.
The Limited-Edition Deluxe Box Set is bursting with exclusives, including previously unreleased demos, rough mixes, live performances, on-air and television appearances, and much more. This one-time, numbered pressing features the remastered “ReLoad” album on 180g double vinyl, a “The Memory Remains” 7”, and Live at Ministry of Sound ’97, a 140g triple album recorded live.
The set’s 15 CDs range from the remastered album to never-before-released collections of riffs, demos & rough mixes, B-sides & rarities, and a wealth of live material. Plus, its four DVDs are jam-packed with behind-the-scenes in-studio footage, live footage, on-air and television appearances, the band’s pop-up performance at the CoreStates Complex Parking Lot in Philadelphia, visits to Seoul, and more.
Rounding out the box’s content are memorabilia, including a pack of 13 Rorschach Test cards, an 11”x17” “Gimme Fuel” poster, a sticker, a Pushead print, a 10-pack of guitar/bass picks, lyric sheets, three laminated tour passes, and a deluxe 128-page book with never-before-seen photos and stories from those who were there.
Metallica is previewing the “ReLoad” reissue with video of a live performance of “The Memory Remains” filmed in the parking lot of CoreStates Center in Philadelphia, PA in 1997; it is featured in the DVD "Banned in Philly", included within the "ReLoad" Remastered Deluxe Box Set package.
