METALLICA Load (2014 US limited edition 14-track double album 2-LP pressed on heavyweight Black Vinyl. Originally released in 1996, Load was a bold left-turn for Metallica-a gritty, groove-laden reinvention that embraced bluesy hard rock, alt-metal textures, and darker lyrical themes. Stepping away from the high-speed thrash of their early records, the band dialed into a more deliberate, riff-driven sound that split opinions and ultimately expanded their legacy. Fromthe sinewy swagger of "Ain't My Bitch" and the anthemic "King Nothing", to the melodic melancholy of "Hero Of The Day" and the near nine-minute epic "Bleeding Me", this is Metallica exploring their range with unflinching intensity. Even the country-tinged ballad "Mama Said" showed a vulnerability rarely seen before. Sonically adventurous, emotionally raw, and unapologetically heavy in a new way, Load captures a band pushing their creative boundaries without compromise. Presented in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with Andres Serrano's striking and controversial cover art, this black vinyl pressing is factory sealed with its original hype sticker intact) more...
