Though the actual Black Friday will take place a week later on November 25th, Metallica will celebrate their own ‘Blackened Friday‘ a week in advance with the November 18th release of their new album, “Hardwired…To Self-Destruct“. The following was shared of their plans regarding that:
“Starting on Thursday November 17th, 100 independent record stores will open at Midnight to sell the new album. Stores will be stocked with music, prizes and additional limited edition exclusive items to give away free with purchase. On Friday the 18th during their normal business hours, stores around the world will be hosting Blackened Friday events with music and giveaways of limited edition items. All items available while supplies last. Contact your local store for details.”
A list of participating retailers can be found at Metallica.com. In other news, the band have shared some more official live footage, the latest being from their acoustic set at the 30th annual ‘Bridge School Benefit‘ that was held at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA on October 23rd, 2016.
