  • Published in News

The Wait is over...Actually, it's back!  Nearly three decades after going out of print, Metallica will release a remastered version of The $5.98 EP - Garage Days Re-Revisited on April 13, as part of their ongoing remasters series via their own Blackened Recordings label. 

Originally released over 30 years ago on August 21,1987, the collection features the band covering songs by early Metallica influencers such as Diamond Head, Holocaust, Killing Joke, Budgie, and The Misfits.

Fans who pre-order the album will receive an instant download of ‘The Wait’ (originally released by Killing Joke in 1980).
