Metallica has shared pro-shot concert video highlighting their performance of “For Whom The Bell Tolls” alongside the San Francisco Symphony which will appear on the band’s forthcoming S&M2 live album and concert film, due out next week on August 28th.
The video showcases the quartet’s hard-hitting rendition of the thrash metal anthem which first appeared on their 1984 Ride the Lightning studio album. The audience inside San Francisco’s Chase Center erupts into a frenzy when the drummer Lars Ulrich and bassist Robert Trujillo start into the song’s adrenaline-pumping intro while backed by the full orchestra. The video’s four-way split-screen editing style gives fans a glimpse of each of the band members (and orchestra) at the same time, making for an excellent viewing experience rather than the quick cutaways typically used on concert films.
Watch the live performance of “For Whom The Bell Tolls” below.
