JAKARTA - The world's heavy metal icon, Metallica, announced the re-release of their seventh studio album from 1997, "Reload". This project is scheduled to be released on June 26th through their own record label, Blackened Recordings.
The album, which upon its initial release was awarded the quadruple platinum status, will return with a sharper audio quality thanks to Reuben Cohen's touch at Lurssen Mastering, under the strict supervision of producer Greg Fidelman.
This step is not just a normal nostalgia effort, because Metallica includes a warehouse of material that has never been published before.
Fans will be treated to unreleased demos, rough mixes, recordings of live performances, to rare clips from past television broadcasts.
The release of "Reload (Remastered)" will be available in a variety of formats, ranging from standard 180g 2LP black vinyl, Wal-Mart exclusive color edition, CD, 3CD Expanded Edition, to cassette and digital formats to reach a new generation of listeners.
For heavy collectors, Metallica also presents the Reload Remastered Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set. This luxurious package with a special serial number contains 15 CDs full of unheard additional riffs, B-Sides, rare material, and live recordings.
Not only that, there are four DVDs containing stage footage, television documentation, and behind-the-scenes moments when the band traveled to Seoul, South Korea.
The box set also comes with various memorabilia such as Rorschach test cards, "Gimme Fuel" posters, to an exclusive 128-page book containing photos and stories that have never been revealed to the public.
The news of this release came in the midst of Metallica's busy preparing for their giant residency at the Sphere, Las Vegas.
Due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of fans, the schedule of performances, which was originally only eight days in October, has now been extended to March 2027.
Before landing in Las Vegas, James Hetfield and his colleagues are also scheduled to tour around England and Europe, including two nights at the London Stadium in July.
In addition, they will visit the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut to celebrate the venue's 25th anniversary with the concept of 'No Repeat Weekends'.
