Metallica will also release a remastered version of ‘The Black Album’ in September via the band’s own Blackened Recordings.

Last week, the legendary group also announced a new range of Vans shoes to mark the record’s 30th anniversary. It marks the fourth collaboration between Vans and Metallica, with the most recent coming in 2018.

Meanwhile, Kirk Hammett recently reflected on Metallica’s 40th anniversary alongside his bandmate Robert Trujillo.

“What’s truly amazing now is the fact that I still feel like we haven’t really peaked, we’re still real hungry, we still wanna make music, we still care about music, we still care about each other,” Hammett said.

“I don’t see any signs of us slowing down, man, ’cause we have stuff that we wanna do.”

Metallica will headline both NOS Alive and Mad Cool Festival, as well as the French festival Hellfest, next summer.
