The visual that accompanies the track takes viewers through a maze of eerie hallways, ghost-infested woods and whirling clouds. The blurring of scenes creates a unique, hypnotic viewing experience.
Metallica also previously expressed their desire to see the album bridge genres, generations and geographical borders.
“With contributions from countries all over the globe,” Metallica say, “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!
“In addition to raising money for charity, we wanted to show that Metallica’s music transcends genres, distance and cultures, and we like to think that—with everyone’s help—we’ve done just that,” Metallica continue. “It was important to us that the artists could choose whichever song they most connected to; it didn’t matter if we already had multiple versions of a song. If an artist wanted to cover that song, so be it. We were honored to have artists of this caliber want to be a part of the project, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed putting it all together!”
