Metallica have released a video announcing that they are the official ambassadors of Record Store Day 2016.

James Hetfield, Robert Trujilo, Kirk Hammett and Lars Ulrich uploaded the official video explaining their involvement as figureheads for this year’s initiative. Aside from the band talking about their love of music discovery through vinyl, Lars Ulrich also goes for a few re-takes in the light hearted video.

Watch the video below:

For Record Store Day 2016, the Metallica’s official release is a special live CD, Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, Metallica! – Live at Le Bataclan. Paris, France – June 11th, 2003, a live concert recording from the Paris theatre that became the focus of the world in November 2015. This release, and the charitable donation of its proceeds to Fondation de France’s Give For France charity, fits into a larger theme for Record Store Day 2016 that highlights the relationship between US record stores and their French counterparts, between Record Store Day and Disquaire Day, between music-and-arts-loving humans in the United States, France and the world.
