METALLICA Is Streaming Their Entire Load Box Set

Metallica has finally unleashed their giant Load… no, they've finally blown their Load? Goddammit. Metallica has finally unveiled the Load box set in full across all streaming services, which you can find below. Make you own jokes before I offer up more F-tier material.

Load was remastered by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering and overseen by longtime Metallica producer Greg Fidelman. Among the bonus tracks on the Load reissue is the extended version of "The Outlaw Torn", which was cut down to a shorter runtime thanks to manufacturing demands. Outside that, the physical version of the massive Load box set features the following:

• Load (Remastered) on 180-gram double LP and CD
• "Mama Said" picture disc
• Three live LPs
• 15 CDs
• Four DVDs featuring unreleased content (live shows, rough mixes, demos, etc)
• MP3 download card of all audio
• Two tour laminates
• 11" x 17" Lollapalooza poster
• Pushead patch
• 8" x 10" Rolling Stone Magazine cover print
• Five-pack of guitar/bass picks
• Pack of 14 Rorschach Test cards
• Lyric folder and sheets
• 128-page hardcover book with never-before-seen photos + stories from those who were there

There's also a 3xCD version with previously unreleased, demos, rough mixes, and live tracks from their worldwide tour. The CDs are housed in a digipak with an embossed cover and includes a 36-page booklet. And of course there's just a standard CD and vinyl reissue as well. Check 'em all out here.
