Metallica – ReLoad (Cassette)

Released in 1997 as the second half of a sprawling double-session with Bob Rock, ReLoad drew from the same marathon recordings that produced Load, giving the band room to stretch into blues-inflected territory and Southern rock textures that still surprise listeners decades later. Tracks like "Fuel" and "The Memory Remains," featuring Marianne Faithfull, cemented the album's place in the catalog as a document of Metallica at their most experimentally confident.

Metallica continues to release remasters of their catalog, with the latest being the 4x-platinum ReLoad, available everywhere on June 26th. Produced by Bob Rock, ReLoad is the follow-up to 5x-platinum Load. ReLoad contains fan favorites including “Fuel,” “The Memory Remains,” and “The Unforgiven II.” Remastered by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering and overseen by executive producer Greg Fidelman.
