Today marks the thirtieth anniversary of Metallica’s And Justice For All (August 25th for some lucky folks in Europe). It was technically amazing, featured great songwriting, and immediately divided the fans. Sure every Metallica album has been an intentional departure from the last (see also David Bowie, Madonna, Deftones), but this album definitely jarred the fanbase when it first dropped.

In a post to their Twitter account, Metallica teased their long-promised deluxe remaster of their classic 1988 album And Justice For All… (Elektra). They shared a short video, along with the hashtag #comingsoon. The band formed their own label, Blackened Records, to put out new records and specifically to release remasters of their back catalog, which they own the rights to, a rarity for most bands.
