This August marks the 30th anniversary of Metallica‘s self-titled record, known to the world as the Black Album. The album features the band’s massive MTV hit “Enter Sandman,” as well as a several other career highlights such as “Sad But True,” “Nothing Else Matters,” and “Wherever I May Roam.” Now, metal’s biggest band have announced that they will be releasing a tribute album titled Blacklist, which will feature some of modern music’s biggest acts honoring this massive release.
The album is part of Metallica’s super-deluxe 30th anniversary edition of the record, which also includes a remastered version of the original album, vinyl, outtakes, and tons more material.
