The hills are alive with the sound of music. Hard rocking, headbanging metal music, at that. As you no doubt already know, it's time for Metallica Mondays again, where the world's favorite metal band, Metallica, showcases another one of their historic concerts for their fans who are stuck at home during the coronavirus lockdown starting at 8 pm ET. This time they are broadcasting their concert from Pannonia Fields II in Nickelsdorf, Austria, which was held on June 10, 2012. It's currently being broadcast live on their Facebook and YouTube pages and will be available on-demand for the rest of the week. You can check it out below:

This concert is special for Metallica fans as James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Rob Trujillo were celebrating the 20th anniversary of their multi-platinum selling self-titled album, known to many fans as the Black album. It sold over 16 million copies in the United States alone and was responsible for putting Metallica on the map for a whole new generation of headbangers.

As always, the Metallica family is using this entertainment showcase as a way to raise funds for Covid-19 relief. The band had posted this announcement on their official page when they first kicked off their Metallica Mondays concert special showcase. "While streaming is free, we will be hosting simultaneous fundraisers on each platform benefiting All Within My Hands. Your donation will help address food insecurities and medical supply shortages during the current Covid-19 crisis as AWMH is working with partners at Feeding America and Direct Relief."
