Metallica today announced the release of a ten-year anniversary 2-disc Blu-Ray of the long out of print "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster" on November 24th, 2014.

Originally released on July 9th, 2004, "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster" follows the band through three turbulent years in a three-decade long career, and gives viewers an incredibly raw and intimate look into the lives and psyches of the members of one of the most successful rock bands in music history battling through addiction, domestic life, backlash from fans, and near-total disintegration during the making of the "St. Anger" album.

The documentary, directed by Joe Berlinger & Bruce Sinofsky (Brother's Keeper, Paradise Lost 1-3), won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary Feature.

This ten-year anniversary release marks the first time "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster" will be available digitally and via video on demand. The updated version will contain an additional bonus feature, "Metallica: This Monster Lives," a 25 minute follow-up piece filmed at Toronto International Film Festival 2013 during the release of the band's second film, "Metallica: Through the Never," which features interview footage with the band and Berlinger & Sinofsky that looks at the decade since the release of the documentary film.

On Black Friday Record Store Day, November 28th, 2014, Metallica will also release a limited-edition 12-inch vinyl of "Lords of Summer." Side A will feature the "First Pass" (studio) version of "Lords Of Summer" as well as a previously unreleased live version recorded at the Rock In Rome Sonisphere Festival on July 1st, 2014. Side B will feature a laser etching of the Metallica "M" logo. This collectable vinyl will only be available through independent retail and Metallica's website.
