Episode 116: Digging Deeper into Metallica’s Vault

This week on The Metallica Report…

We wrap up our final 2025 visit to Iveniem, home to the real-life Metallica Black Box. Dan Nykolayko (Metallica’s in-house curator) and Ally Bace (Inveniem archivist) join Steffan to sift through boxes, bags, and tapes to uncover more rich Metalli-gold. The excitement during this last mad rummage is palpable as the trio uncovers vintage Polaroids, ancient demos, and two hidden gems that left Dan’s gloved hands scrambling to pick his jaw up off the floor.
