Metallica Prepping the Mother ‘Load’ With Reissue of 1996 Album Featuring 245 Unreleased Tracks

The upcoming box set commemorating the band's 1996 will feature three live albums and dozens of demos and alternative takes.

Metallica will revisit their 1996 album Load with a sprawling 301-track box set that will feature 245 unreleased tracks as well las demos, rarities and outtakes. The massive set due out on June 13 will be released in a number of formats, including a 2LP 180G vinyl package, as well as CD, cassette and digital, in addition to an expanded 3CD version and what they are calling a “mammoth” deluxe box set.

The “ambitious and comprehensive time capsule of 1995-1997 era Metallica” will feature the entire remastered Load album on 180g double vinyl, the extended version of “The Outlaw Torn,” which was originally edited for release due to the running time limits on CDs at the time, as well as a “Mama Said” picture disc and Loadapalooza ’96, a 140g triple album recorded live during their headlining Lollapalooza show at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre on Aug. 4, 1996.
