BLACKENED®, the award winning whiskey from Metallica, will be a sponsor of the 2024 Annual Metal Hall of Fame Gala, January 24, 2024, at the Marriott Delta Garden Grove, Anaheim, CA. BLACKENED® will have a special branding experience and will include a free sampling event for all Metal Hall of Fame Gala attendees ages 21 and over. The Gala will be hosted by radio Icon Eddie Trunk, and entertainment personality Cathy Rankin.
“BLACKENED® was created as a way for us to connect with our fans and whiskey connoisseurs,” said Metallica drummer and co-founder Lars Ulrich regarding BLACKENED’s® release of their commemorative 72 Seasons Batch, “This batch does exactly that. We know our fans have been waiting a long time for new music, and we want to celebrate this release with them in every possible way we can. This album is as much theirs as it is ours, and we’re excited to unveil this commemorative release of BLACKENED®.”
