Since forming in 1981, Metallica has become one of the most influential and popular bands in musical history. Through their groundbreaking music, electrifying live performances, and a cultural impact that has extended beyond music, Metallica has garnered a massive global following of dedicated fans. Their critical acclaim and influence match the Hall of Fame band’s commercial success in the world of rock music and pinball.
The team of pinball legends John Borg, Lyman Sheats, Jr. plus software engineer Raymond Davidson, has created a modern version of the original masterpiece.
This fast shooting classic playfield architecture has been enhanced with three all-new sculptures: Bones Sparky, the artistic active Hammer, RGB-illuminated Skulls, and a new Metallica logo on the back panel. Dramatic UV lighting effects have been implemented throughout the playfield and on Sparky, and the game includes numerous quality and durability refinements. The iconic Lyman Sheats rule set has been carefully enhanced to add two new game modes based on Metallica’s two most recent albums, last year’s Grammy-winning 72 Seasons and 2016’s Hardwired…to Self-Destruct, as well as a new “Blackened” Wizard Mode. The Metallica Remastered software also includes numerous refinements throughout and an enhanced illuminated insert array to support the new game rules while preserving the classic gameplay feel from the original.
Over 1,000 new speech added, which include callouts by the band. Eight new Metallica songs have been seamlessly integrated into the game and include new supporting animations, movies, and HD-quality live concert footage selected by the band. The optinal expression lighting system for the cabinet and/or speakers is available to purchase for Premium models. These integrated lighting systems are synchronized to custom light shows specifically designed for every song and dynamically responsive to game events. Hand-drawn artwork by Rhys Cooper.
