Metallica will reissue their first two albums, 1983's Kill 'Em All and 1984's Ride The Lightning, on April 15th. Both albums have been remastered for the most advanced sound quality and will be available in three formats - CD, vinyl, and deluxe box set. Both deluxe box sets include original source material from the band's personal collection with many never before heard or seen recordings, along with a book including rare photos and essays from those who were there.

In the video below, Lars Ulrich cracks open the Deluxe Edition of Ride The Lightning for the first time.

Metallica are streaming "Creeping Death" from the remastered edition of Ride the Lightning. The track was remastered by Howie Weinberg At Howie Weinberg Mastering in Los Angeles, CA.

Fans can pre-order both Deluxe Box sets at the Met Store.
