Metallica announce covers album featuring Imelda May and Dermot Kennedy, alongside Black Album reissue

Metal icons Metallica have announced a 53-track covers album, to coincide with a remastered deluxe edition of their legendary 1991 self-titled release, commonly referred to as The Black Album.

Imelda May will record a version of  'The God that Failed' on The Metallica Blacklist, which will see many musicians from various genres covering their favourite songs from the legendary album.

Dermot Kennedy will also offer up his take on 'Nothing Else Matters', the brilliant third single from The Black Album.

Miley Cyrus' version of the same track, featuring WATT, Elton John, Yo-Yo Ma, Robert Trujillo, and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, is out now.

Watch the music video for the Miley Cyrus cover of 'Nothing Else Matters' below:

Mac DeMarco, Weezer, Royal Blood, St. Vincent, Biffy Clyro, Corey Taylor, Cage the Elephant, Phoebe Bridgers and Kamasi Washington are also among the cavalcade of musicians paying tribute to the Californian band.

The digital version of The Metallica Blacklist will be released on September 10, with physical versions coming out on October 1. They're available for pre-order now.

All proceeds from the release will go to charities of each artists' choices and Metallica’s 'All Within My Hands Foundation.

It will coincide with a 'definitive reissue' of The Black Album, including a new remaster.
