Other notable videos shared from the band recently include a 1991 show at the Walker Arena in Muskegon, Michigan. 

It comes after the group launched their “Month of Giving” charity campaign in a bid to help the relief effort in the battle against coronavirus.

The band’s All Within My Hands foundation are spearheading the initiative, which has been inspired by this week’s #GivingTuesdayNow campaign — which was organised as “a response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19”.

The “Month of Giving” will apply to the remainder of May, with both Metallica and All Within My Hands each week highlighting “a different organisation we are supporting through our grants for COVID-19 relief, and share with you what these organisations do, show you how you can chip in, and Metallica will donate proceeds from select merchandise to each organisation.”

Drummer Lars Ulrich also recently admitted there is a “good chance” of the band recording new material during lockdown.
