This week on The Metallica Report…

We're back at Inveniem, home of The Metallica Black Box, for yet another deep dive into some authentic Metalli-artifacts in the Vault.

Don’t worry, the gloves are most certainly on this time as the group combs through shelves and boxes in search of rare treasures!
