“Metallica is one of the greatest, heaviest, and most significant bands of all time. They defined heavy music as we know it today,” said The Glitch Mob. “We listened to their catalog religiously. “And Justice For All” is one of the greatest albums ever—it has an immersive narrative, deep emotion, and gnarly power.  Our mission has always been to bring that same raw energy into our own electronic music. It was a true honor to remix Metallica: to collaborate with our heroes.”

The trio has also delivered a run of upcoming spring and summer tour dates, including festival appearances at Sasquatch, Electric Zoo, and Northcoast, co-headlining California shows with Chromeo at Santa Barbara Bowl and Berkeley’s legendary Greek Theater, as well as performances at both HARD Red Rocks and HARD Summer.
