Metallica's "Black Album" turns 30 this year, and the band are giving fans the five-star treatment. In addition to releasing a remastered version of what's arguably the most important metal album of all time, the thrash pioneers have commissioned a project called The Metallica Blacklist Album, which features 53 artists from across the musical spectrum covering their favorite songs from the "Black Album." 

The remastered version of the "Black Album" comes on a variety of formats (vinyl, CD, cassette and digital) including gargantuan deluxe box set that boasts six LP's, 14 CD's, six DVD's, a 120-page book and a shit-ton of extra goodies that the most dedicated Metallica fan in your life will appreciate. 

The Metallica Blacklist Album is where things get really interesting. The track list features artists from every corner of the music world giving their unique takes on the timeless songs from the "Black Album." Miley Cyrus, Elton John, Yo-Yo Ma, Ghost, Juanes, Corey Taylor, St. Vincent, Weezer, Mac DeMarco, Rina Sawayama, J Balvin and Chris Stapleton are among the 53 guests — and that's only a taste of the compilation's mind-bending eclecticism. 

What's more, all of the profits from Blacklist will be donated to over 50 charities that have been selected by the artists on the roster. Peep the full track listing below after the jump. 

All of the aforementioned items and more are set for release on September 10th and are currently available for pre-order in Metallica's store. Watch trailers for Blacklist and the "Black Album" remastered below, and hear the long-awaited cover of "Nothing Else Matters" by Miley Cyrus, Elton John, Yo-Yo Ma, Robert Trujilo and Chad Smith.
