With all the attention that Metallica is generating with their upcoming Black Album reissue (here), it simply makes sense to ride those PR coattails for maximum voyage. Planned for supplemental release is a collection of unique cover tracks from various artists of songs from the Black Album. 53 artists have contributed covers of the Black Album‘s 12 songs in an effort to contribute even further, this time with all profits of such a set to be going to several charities. The charities are listed as selected by the various contributing artists.
On October 1, Metallica will release The Metallica Blacklist, a covers set as explained above. The album will be issued on CD as a ten-panel digipak 4CD, and on vinyl with a Limited Edition 7LP box. The LPs will be housed in die-cut sleeves and the set will come with an MP3 download rights card for the digital tracks. DD will arrive much sooner with a release date of September 10. A booklet is packed in. For those interested, the track list is below.
Two “Holier Than Thou” tracks from the album can be heard below (one from OFF!, and one from Biffy Clyro).
