Metallica - Blitzkrieg '97 (Unofficial Splatter 2LP)

A Reading Festival performance preserved on double vinyl, Blitzkrieg '97 presents Metallica live at Little John’s Farm, Reading, England, on 24 August 1997. This is a concert recording rather than a studio album, offering a document of the band on a British festival stage.

Issued by Axe Attack in February 2026, this limited edition comes on splatter vinyl across two LPs. It is an unofficial release, not an official Metallica issue.
