Congrats to Carl Wilson (pictured below). He and a friend will be heading to see Metallica in August for their M72 tour. Carl scored not only the tickets to the show at So-Fi Stadium, but airfare to L.A., hotel stay, and $500 (so he can get a t-shirt or two), all courtesy of Blackened Recordings.

If you still have the craving to see Metallica, they will be coming to the Pacific Northwest in 2024. Metallica will be rocking with Pantera & Mammoth WVH at Lumen Field in Seattle on August 30th and with Mammoth WVH & Ice Nine Kills on September 1st.

What’s Next?
