From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ReLoad is the seventh album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released in 1997.
The album consists of material originally written during the writing sessions for the band's previous album, Load. Indeed, Metallica had initially hoped to release the Load & ReLoad songs as a double album, but that idea proved untenable for a variety of reasons. Aside from the album title, ReLoad also shares similar artwork with Load (Load uses Andres Serrano's Blood and Semen II while Reload uses his Piss and Blood) and a similarly distinctive blues-rock feel in many of the songs.
The cover of the album is original artwork depicting urine and blood. It is one of three photographic studies by Andres Serrano created in 1990 by mingling the artist's own urine and bovine blood between two sheets of Plexiglas. As with Load, ReLoad included a booklet containing band photos and select lyrics for each song.
