METALLICA Load | Remastered Expanded Edition (Metallica continue their extensive reissue series with this Remastered Expanded Edition of their 5x-platinum 1996 studio album Load presented across 3-CDs. Originally produced by BobRock, Load followed the groundbreaking success of Metallica (The Black Album) and introduced a more groove-driven, hard rock sound with iconic tracks like "Until It Sleeps," "Hero of the Day," and "King Nothing." Now fully remastered by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering under the oversight of Greg Fidelman, this edition includes the original full-length version of "The Outlaw Torn" - previously edited due to CD manufacturing constraints. This 3CD set features the full remastered album, rarities including rough mixes, demo versions, and early takes, and live performances from the Poor Touring Me tour. Housed in a deluxe spot-varnish digipak with a 36-page booklet, this edition is a deep dive into a pivotal chapter of Metallica's history. Hype sticker & factory sealed)
