Metallica’s self-titled fifth studio album released in 1991 became known by fans as the ‘black album’: the record turned Metallica into global megastars.
Photographer Ross Halfin was with the band during the album sessions in North Hollywood and shot thousands of film rolls during the 300-date tour that followed.
This epic celebration of one of the best-selling albums of all time features over 200 pages of classic and previously unpublished photographs and introductions from Ross and the band members.

This beautiful hardback title is an official collaboration with Metallica and photographer Ross Halfin. During the 300-date tour between 1991 and 1993, he intimately documented the hectic performance schedule, backstage, rehearsals, interviews, band meetings and travel, alongside unique portrait shots of the band. A must-have for film-shooter Metallica fans!

Julian B. ★★★★★

Seeing Ross Halfin’s behind-the-scenes shots of the band during the Black Album era brought back a flood of memories. The hardcover binding feels substantial, and the photo paper has a nice matte finish that doesn’t glare under my reading lamp.

Harper ★★★★★

I’ve been a fan since the 90s, and this book captures the raw energy of that era perfectly—the black-and-white photos of the band in studio are exactly what I wanted. The paper quality feels substantial, and the binding lays flat so you can actually study each shot without fighting the spine.

David K. ★★★★★

The layout is clean and the print quality on the photos is sharp, which makes flipping through the shots from that 1991 era feel like a proper time capsule. I’ve spent more time than I expected just staring at the live shots Ross captured.
