"With contributions from countries all over the globe from the U.S. to Nigeria, there are tracks from singer-songwriters, country artists, electronic, and hip-hop artists alongside punk rockers, indie darlings, icons of rock, metal, world music, and many, many more covering the entire spectrum from musicians we've shared the stage with, to some who were not even born yet when the original album was released!" Metallica. Additionally, 100 percent of the profits will be given to charity, split between Metallica's All Within My Hands Foundation and charities chosen by all 53 guest artists.
