Blackened Recordings Metallica‘s ongoing deluxe reissue campaign will continue with a new box set for 1988’s …And Justice for All.
The metal legends tweeted a video of the upcoming collection being put together on an assembly line. The clip is accompanied by the hashtag #comingsoon.
What’s included in the Justice box set has yet to be announced, but it will surely be as elaborate as the previous reissues for 1983’s Kill ‘Em All, 1984’s Ride the Lightning and 1986’s Master of Puppets. Those all featured live tracks, demos, rough mixes, interviews and exclusive memorabilia, along with remastered versions of the albums.
Aside from spawning the hit anti-war single “One,” …And Justice for All is significant in Metallica’s history because it was the band’s first album following the death of bassist Cliff Burton in 1986. Bassist Jason Newsted was hired to take over, but his playing on Justice is infamously barely audible for reasons that are still unclear.
Metallica will launch a U.S. tour behind their latest album, 2016’s Hardwired…to Self-Destruct, this Sunday, September 2 in Madison, Wisconsin.
