I second phyre's reaction and I will say, god damn that's a lot of music...

 

[VEHEMENCE]

Here is a picture of Metallica taking a look at The Metal Blade 20th Anniversary Box set that Brian delivered them, reading up on their feature along with Vehemence inside the pamphlet haha. Who knows if they glanced at our shit, but it would be cool to know if they did or heard the name said by Slagel as he did in his interview featured on the Metallca Website right here.

Of course you have regiester name and a password, but if you havent seen or met Brian Slagel this is a good chance to see him.
