In 2021, Metallica brought together a head-spinningly diverse selection of artists to record reimagined cuts from the metal titans' seminal, self-titled 1991 LP, AKA The Black Album. Titled The Metallica Blacklist, it saw everyone from Miley Cyrus and Elton John to Ghost, Rina Sawayama, Chase & Status and Kamasi Washington get involved. It wasn't just seen as a celebration of 30 years of The Black Album itself, but a mark of how just widely respected and appreciated metal's biggest band had become.
Now, just four albums in and two fewer decades into their career, Turnstile have managed to pull off the same trick. Last year's Never Enough was widely regarded as an instant classic, a companion album to 2021's Glow On that added yet more shades to the Baltimore crew's versatile, increasingly pop-infused brand of arena punk. So far had they outgrown the US hardcore scene by the time of its release that even Charli XCX referenced them at the end of her Coachella headline set a couple of months prior.
