Metallica Officially Announce Multi-Format S&M2 Release, Unveil Two Songs: Stream

The post Metallica Officially Announce Multi-Format S&M2 Release, Unveil Two Songs: Stream appeared first on Consequence of Sound.

After drummer Lars Ulrich teased the news during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last month, Metallica have officially announced a multi-format release that captures last year’s “S&M2” concerts with the San Francisco Symphony.

The concerts came 20 years after the metal legends’ original “S&M” shows in 1999. The pair of “S&M2” concerts took place September 6th and 8th, 2019, and served as the opening events of San Francisco’s Chase Center, the new home of the Golden State Warriors.

Metallica and San Francisco Symphony: S&M2, as the collection is called, will be released on August 28th in a variety of formats capturing both the recorded audio and the film version of the concerts. A deluxe box set includes limited edition 4-LP color vinyl, an exclusive photobook, 2 CDs, Blu-ray, sheet music, five guitar picks, poster, and download card, while a super deluxe box set adds original sheet music signed by the band.

There’s also the option to purchase Metallica and San Francisco Symphony: S&M2 in smaller incarnations, including as a black or color 4-LP vinyl set with photobook; a 2CD/Blu-ray with booklet; a 2CD/DVD with booklet, or simply as 2 CDs; Blu-ray; DVD; digital album; or digital movie.

In addition to announcing the various formats, Metallica have unveiled performance videos of “All Within My Hands” and “Nothing Else Matters” from the upcoming collection.

Heavy Consequence was on hand for the first of the first of the two “S&M2” concerts, capturing a full photo gallery and review. We also reviewed the movie version when it was shown for one night in theaters in October of last year.
