Phoebe Bridgers, Chris Stapleton Cover Metallica's 'Nothing Else Matters'

On the 30th anniversary of the release of Metallica's Black Album (August 12), the band has unveiled two more stirring covers from its upcoming compilation album, The Metallica Blacklist.

Singer-songwriters Phoebe Bridgers and Chris Stapleton might come from different musical worlds, but like so many others, they're bonded over their mutual love for Metallica.

Bridgers and Stapleton both covered "Nothing Else Matters" for the Blacklist, a compilation of 53 covers of Black Album tracks by different artists spanning a variety of genres.

Bridgers' version is stark and quavering as only she can deliver, with a delicate string and piano arrangement and the faintest hints of electronic production.

Stapleton's version is gritty and soulful, rooted in a blues interpretation of the classic heavy metal ballad. At well over 8-minutes long, his instrumental track sounds like it was recorded live. It features two guitar solos, including an outro solo that spans the track's final three minutes.

The Metallica Blacklist will be available in physical and digital formats, starting September 10.

All proceeds from the album will be split evenly between Metallica's All Within My Hands Foundation and charities chosen by each artist who contributed to the album.
