An unearthed interview with Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield ahead of the release of Metallica's 1991 self-titled Black Album reveals that the band were distancing themselves from the thrash metal label and feeling a little defensive about claims that their sound was becoming more mainstream.
The band were in the UK preparing for the record's release and spoke with a journalist from Music Box TV. The interview has now been unearthed and remastered by Sunset Vinyl, who say it has not been seen for decades.
