Hey Latin lovers, it's K Marie, A white girl in a Hispanic world! Did you hear about the new monumental Black Album, Metallica's Black List covers compilation? Holy moly, this is so good! It's an album that features 53 cover songs by a number of acts. And its not just artists like Miley Cyrus, Elton John, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers taking part in it. But also incredible Latin artists like Juanes, J Balvin, Mon Laferte, José Madero, Ha-ash, and Rodrigo y Gabriela. The release of their 1991 self-titled LP, with also the compilation, will both be released on September 10th. It will be released in several formats including a deluxe box set with 14 CD's, six vinyl LPs, six DVD's and more. But don't worry, there will also be smaller digital versions available for fans to purchase.

It really is historical to have so many Latinos a part of this album, J Balvin has been a fan, even last year posting on his Instagram himself playing Metallica on his guitar with the caption saying "Music is universal."

And the best part about this whole album is that the profits are going to charity. All the profits from the digital release, along with the vinyl and CD version of The Metallica Blacklist, which drops on October 1st, will be donated to various charities which have been selected by the featured acts, but also to Metallica's own All Within My Hands Foundation.

Take a moment and check out Juanes covering "Enter Sandman" from the album, it's pretty amazing.
