Metallica just announced that they will be reissuing Master of Puppets on November 10th and we almost can’t handle it. The album has been remastered for the most advanced sound quality and will be available in various digital and physical configurations. The reissue is available for pre-order here. Those who pre-order the standard album will receive an instant download of  “Disposable Heroes (Remastered)”. Those who pre-order the expanded or deluxe editions will receive an instant download of “Disposable Heroes (Remastered)” and “The Thing That Should Not Be (Live at the Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, IL – May 25th, 1986)”.

Master of Puppets is one of the most celebrated metal records of all time and we are so stoked to be able to hear it in the best way possible with the remaster! We’re not the only ones excited either. James was so pumped that he already opened his copy. Watch him unwrap it below.

The Master of Puppets reissue will be available physically as a Standard LP, Standard CD, 3 CD Expanded Edition, and Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set and digitally as a Standard CD, a 3 CD Expanded Edition (available for download only), and a Digital Deluxe Box Set. The Expanded Edition will include previously unreleased demos, rough mixes, interviews, live tracks, and a 28-page booklet. The Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set will include a 108-page hardcover book including never before seen photos, outtakes and previously unreleased interviews, three LPs, ten CDs, a cassette, two DVDs, a lithograph, a folder with handwritten lyrics, and a set of six buttons.

Metallica is known around the world as one of the most iconic rock or metal groups in history. They’ve been around since 1981 and have made a lot of memories and done a lot of cool stuff since then. Here are some of our favorite Metallica moments:
