Metallica has issued a final call for fan contributions related to their controversial late 1990s albums, Load and ReLoad, as they prepare for the release of the Deluxe Box Sets. The band recently reminded fans about this opportunity through a message, urging them to share any relevant content from the era that marked the beginning of the internet and pre-social media times. The submission deadline is set for today, January 31, 2024.

In a reminiscent tone, Metallica referenced a call made a couple of years ago for contributions to the Deluxe Box Sets dedicated to Load and ReLoad. Emphasizing the desire to incorporate fan influence into these forthcoming box sets, the band expressed their intention to ensure that these releases maintain the same level of connection with their audience as the previous five.

For those who believe they possess noteworthy memorabilia from the period spanning August 1995 through September 1998, Metallica welcomes various forms of content. This includes live photos captured by fans, snapshots from meet & greets, event flyers, ticket stubs, backstage passes, and any other mementos that fans may have preserved from that particular timeframe.

Metallica encourages fans to actively participate in shaping the narrative of these albums by sharing their stories and artifacts. Fans are invited to contribute by emailing the band at [email protected], and in return, they will receive additional information about the submission process.

Metallica stresses that no contribution is deemed too small or insignificant; they encourage fans to share even the most trivial artifacts from their personal archives. The band sees this as an opportunity for fans to connect with each other and relive cherished memories from that period.

As Metallica prepares to compile the sixth and seventh Deluxe Box Sets, they look to their dedicated fanbase to play a pivotal role in enriching the historical documentation of Load and ReLoad, making this final call a significant moment for both the band and their fans.
