Metallica - Load (Vinyl 2LP | EU Reissue | 2015)

Metallica – Load is Metallica's sixth studio album, released on June 4, 1996. Recording began in May 1995 at The Plant Studios in Sausalito, produced by Bob Rock with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich; overdubs and mixing followed in New York. With its bluesy, more rock-oriented sound it was a clear change of style, yet it entered the US charts at number 1. At 79 minutes it is one of the band's longest albums, featuring "Until It Sleeps", "King Nothing" and "Hero Of The Day". This copy is the 2015 European reissue on two 180g LPs in a gatefold sleeve, new and factory sealed.
