Metallica Announce ‘Vinyl Club’ Subscription Service

Metallica fans are hardcore when it comes to being completists, showing their appreciation for the band's live show postings in recent years. As they attempt to continue to satisfy the voracious appetite of their fans, they've now launched a "Vinyl Club" subscription service as well.

"It’s another first for us... our very own Vinyl Club," exclaim the group via their website. "As huge music fans ourselves, it’s been super exciting to see the resurgence of vinyl and how much enjoyment we all get collecting, exploring and connecting with other fans mining for lost treasures. Those of us who love the look, feel and sonic warmth of vinyl are sorta in our little exclusive club, so with that in mind, we thought it would be fun to start adding to our collections on a regular basis."

For Metallica fans that are already "Fifth Members," your 2020 vinyl club subscription will provide you with rare cuts, demos, rough mixes, live rarities and whatever else the band may dig up. The band promises that each released vinyl cut will be something the band hasn't issued on vinyl prior.

Each subscription includes a personalized membership card, four 7” vinyl records and select releases throughout the year will include additional collectibles. This could be anything from exclusive stickers to picks or even posters!

For those interested, head here to ensure your Vinyl Club subscription for the price of $49.99. Membership sign-ups will continue through Tuesday, March 31 at 11:59PM ET, after which new memberships won't be open again until the 2021 subscription year.
