Metallica Release Social Distanced Version of 'Blackened' Today

Two weeks ago, Metallica dropped a social distanced rendition of their song “Blackened”, with each member of the band performing from their respective homes.

“Here’s a little something we cooked up over the last few days,” the band said of the video. “Hope you’re all safe & sound.”

The band — whose plan to headline five summer music festivals was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic — treated fans to a stripped-down take on the ...And Justice for All classic, which Metallica dubbed “Blackened 2020.”
