Two rare live tracks posted to tease us.

Two rare live tracks posted to tease us.

Metallica has its own label now, titled Blackened Recordings, and the band seems like it'll be putting it to good use! On April 15, Metallica will be reissuing Kill 'Em All and Ride The Lightning in some seriously heavy duty box sets! Ride The Lightning will be 4 LPs, 6 CDs, and a DVD, while Kill 'Em All will be 4 LPs, 5 CDs, and a DVD.

The releases will include "original source material from the band’s personal collection with many never before heard or seen recordings along with books including rare photos and essays from those who were there," as well as digital remasters of both albums. The band even teased two of the bonus live tracks that come with these releases.

Here's exactly what they entail, though you can also pre-order Ride The Lightening here and Kill 'Em All here. Ready? Here's the former…
