As previously announced, Metallica will be releasing a ten-year anniversary 2-disc Blu-Ray and DVD of their out of print, groundbreaking movie, METALLICA:  Some Kind of Monster  – release date has now changed to  December 8th  2104 on Blackened Recordings via Virgin/EMI.

Originally released on July 9, 2004, METALLICA: Some Kind of Monster follows the band through three of the most turbulent years in their over three-decade long career. It gives viewers an incredibly raw and intimate look into the lives and psyches of the members of one of the most successful rock bands in music history as they battle their way through addiction, domestic life, backlash from their fans, and near-total disintegration during the making of their St. Anger album.  The documentary, directed by the award-winning team of Joe Berlinger & Bruce Sinofsky (Brother’s Keeper, Paradise Lost 1-3), won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary Feature.

In more Metallica news – drummer Lars Ulrich made a lightning visit to the UK this week to present Michael Eavis with the Music Industry Trust Award.  In his speech Ulrich described Eavis as ‘the greatest rock star in England’.
The band have been nominated themselves in the UK Festival Awards for their appearance at Glastonbury earlier this year and won film of the year for Metallica: Through The Never at the Classic Rock Awards yesterday.
