Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich made a guest appearance on this week's episode of TBS's Full Frontal With Samantha Bee, where he talked about food insecurity in America and Metallica's All Within My Hands foundation. Watch below.

Asked what's happening with food insecurity in America right now, Lars responds: "The craziest thing, if you get into stats, is that one in six Americans are on track to be food insecure this year, and one in four kids, which is crazy. And that's the highest those numbers have ever been. What's been happening in the last four months, during the pandemic, is making it even worse."

Ulrich continues: "Metallica started All Within My Hands four years ago to primarily work in the areas of food insecurity, education and disaster relief. We've toured a lot in the US the last two, three years. Every show, we meet with local volunteers, and these volunteers cover the whole state... they're out there putting hundreds and hundreds of miles on their cars. It warms my Danish, hard rock heart to see how many of our fans all over America are stepping up. And basically, every time Metallica plays a show in your community, two dollars from every ticket goes into our organization, and a lot of that goes into Feeding America."

Metallica have revealed details for the upcoming release, S&M²: Metallica And San Francisco Symphony Together Again. Live, out on August 28.

Says the band: "In September of 2019, we were on stage for two incredible nights with the San Francisco Symphony commemorating the opening of the new Chase Center here in our backyard as well as the 20th anniversary of the first S&M. Celebrating with fans from all around the world (almost 70 countries represented!) and sharing the stage with our hometown symphony, its legendary Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas, and conductor Edwin Outwater, was beyond inspiring and a major highlight in our crazy, cool time as a band. Now we can all relive those two special nights as both video and audio versions of the shows are available for pre-order now, hitting stores on August 28.

"S&M2, is coming your way in a number of formats, ranging from standard 4LP vinyl, collectible colored vinyl, 2CD, DVD, Blu-ray, and Deluxe Box set, all the way up to the Fifth Member™ exclusive Super Deluxe Box, limited to 500 copies (which members can enter to reserve), each featuring original sheet music used in the show and signed by all four band members. Including the first-ever symphonic renditions of songs written and released since those first S&M shows, the album was produced by Greg Fidelman with Hetfield & Ulrich.

“So why did this take almost 12 months to release?” The concert film is a brand-new edit done by Joe Hutshing (Through The Never) and both the audio and visuals have been taken to the next level from the October 2019 theatrical version that played in over 3,700 cinemas worldwide. Originally planned for a mid-June release, unfortunately pressing plants and printers closed due to COVID-19 just as we were getting ready to manufacture the various configurations. We’re excited that we’re back on track, everything’s in motion, and we can finally get the music to you.

"Fifth Members™ should login for a 20% discount and all pre-orders will receive MP3 downloads of the S&M2 versions of “All Within My Hands” and “Nothing Else Matters.”
