Tracks from the highly anticipated mega release ‘The Metallica Blacklist’ just keep coming. Last week saw St Vincent, Sam Fender, & Jason Isbell and the 400 drop their covers of ‘Sad But True’, and now Biffy Clyro and OFF! have shared their unique takes of the classic ‘Holier Than Thou’.

‘The Metallica Blacklist’ ia part of Metallica’s 30th anniversary celebrations of their self-titled fifth album – AKA The Black Album. The Metallica Blacklist’s 53 tracks find singer-songwriters, country artists, electronic and hip hop artists sharing their love of these songs alongside punk rockers, indie darlings, icons of rock, metal, world music and many, many more… and for 50+ good causes: Profits will be divided evenly between charities of the artist’s choice and Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation. ‘The Metallica Blacklist’ is a fitting and limitless homage, one that features bands who’ve shared stages with Metallica alongside artists who are younger than the original album. It’s a truly staggering, at times mystifying assemblage of musicians, dozens of whom have little to nothing in common other than the shared passion for the music that’s united them for this album: 1 Album. 12 Songs. 53 Artists. Unlimited Possibilities.
