This week we crown thirty years of METALLICA’s Black Album, the overall best-selling album of any kind in the U.S. since its release in August 1991. With rehearsal and live Metallica recordings, we trace the raw thrash metal band behind the record, then we follow the truly universal impact of the record going track-by-track with covers of Black Album standards from Mongolia, reggae royalty, German techno, the Middle East, a Danish church, plus metal tributes from Lemmy, Nightrage, ICS Vortex of Dimmu Borgir, Finntroll, Dark Tranquility, and Sodom. Hails to the greatest world-changing success story in metal history — know your Roots!
