Metallica announced on April 28 a deluxe reissue of their 1997 album Reload, set for release on June 26 in multiple formats, including a limited-edition box set packed with nearly 1,700 minutes of remastered audio and video content.

The reissue features the album remastered by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering, overseen by Greg Fidelman. Available options include standard CD, cassette, digital download, a three-CD expanded edition, and 180-gram double LP vinyl. The standout is the deluxe box set, priced at $274.98 and available for preorder, which contains the remastered Reload on double vinyl and CD, a 7-inch single of "The Memory Remains," and a triple LP of the previously unreleased Live at Ministry of Sound '97 recording. It also includes 15 CDs with collections of riffs, songwriting demos, rough mixes, B-sides, rarities, and live performances from locations such as Philadelphia, Brisbane, East Rutherford, Reading, and London. Four DVDs offer behind-the-scenes footage, in-studio clips, television appearances like MTV's Reload, Rehearse, Request, and live shows from Asia, California, and a popup performance at Philadelphia's CoreStates Complex parking lot.
