Record Store Day is gradually becoming a worldwide phenomenon.

So come this April 17th music fans can rejoice and metal fans can retreat to their bedrooms like it was September 18, 1970 to take solace in a limited Metallica/Black Sabbath joint release.
According to The Quietus the two forces will be putting out just 1,000 copies of this hand-numbered vinyl record. One side will contain a version of “Paranoid” with alternate lyrics, and the Metallica side will hold a remix of the St. Anger single “Frantic” as crafted by UNKLE.
