Sebastian Bach, Tim “Ripper” Owens & others will be inducted in 2024
Metallica’s award-winning Blackened American Whiskey will be a sponsor of the 2024 Annual Metal Hall of Fame Gala, on January 24, 2024, at the Marriott Delta Garden Grove, Anaheim, California. 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,” states 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.”
Sebastian Bach, Tim “Ripper” Owens, Carlos Cavazo, Penelope Spheeris, and Biohazard will be inducted. The night will feature an all-star jam with surprise special guests.
Limited tickets are available for the free Blackened Tasting Experience, which is included in the price for a reserved table for the gala.
The Annual Metal Hall of Fame Celebrity Gala has included many historical hard rock and heavy metal moments. One hundred percent of proceeds from Metal Hall of Fame events go to preserving hard rock and heavy metal music for future generations, and also bring free music programs to help special needs children and wounded veterans in health facilities and community centers.
