Metallica perform ‘The Black Album’ in full at Louder Than Life festival

Metallica, James Hetfield

Metallica played ‘The Black Album’ in its entirety during their headline set at Louder Than Life festival last night (September 26) – see footage below.

‘The Black Album’ was reissued this month to celebrate its 20th anniversary, while alongside the record’s reissue came ‘The Metallica Blacklist’, a mammoth covers album.

To continue the celebrations, Metallica played their second headline set of the weekend at Louder Than Life in Louisville, Kentucky, playing the album in reverse order.

The set began with three non-‘Black Album’ tracks – ‘Hardwired’, ‘The Four Horsemen’ and ‘Welcome Home (Sanitarium)’ – before the band launched in to its closing track, ‘The Struggle Within’.

From there, they ran through the entirety of ‘The Black Album’ in reverse order, finishing the main set with album opener ‘Enter Sandman’. A two song encore of other tracks then followed.

Then, they played a surprise Chicago show at the Metro club – read all about how that show came together on NME here.
