"This is a monumental opportunity for Metallica fans to be the first to hear the new album. We are thrilled to be a part of this historical global moment – connecting Metallica with their fans once again," said Kymberli Frueh of Trafalgar Releasing who joined with the band on this project, as well as the worldwide premiere of S&M2 in 2019.
