Metallica is continuing to release remasters of their catalog, with the latest being the 5x-platinum Load, available everywhere on June 13th. Produced by Bob Rock, Load is the follow-up to Metallica, the best-selling album of the Soundscan era. Load contains fan favorites including “Until It Sleeps,” “Hero of the Day,” and “King Nothing,” and for the first time ever, the original extended version of “The Outlaw Torn” that was originally edited due to manufacturing limits. Remastered by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering and overseen by executive producer Greg Fidelman.
With 301 total tracks (245 unreleased) and weighing in at over ten pounds, the limited edition deluxe numbered box set of Load (Remastered) includes the album remastered on 180-gram double LP and CD, Mama Said picture disc, three live LPs, 15 CDs and four DVDs featuring unreleased content (live shows, rough mixes, demos, etc), MP3 download card of all audio, two tour laminates, a Lollapalooza poster, a Pushead patch, a Rolling Stone print, guitar/bass picks, a pack of 14 Rorschach Test cards, lyric folder and sheets, and a 128-page hardcover book with never-before-seen photos + stories from those who were there.
