Heavy rockers Metallica are to perform their eponymous 1991 album in its entirety at a former Danish prison, where inmates included serial killers and mass murderers.
The group has announced its June concert in Denmark will be staged at Statsfaengsel.
The 150-year-old prison was shut down in 2006 and now serves as an occasional entertainment venue. The large building's notable prisoners included former Minister of Justice Peter Adler Alberti and mass murderer Peter Lundin.
It's not the first time Metallica have been behind bars for a big gig - the band performed for inmates at San Quentin State Prison in California in 2003.
Metallica founder and drummer Lars Ulrich was born and raised in Denmark.
When asked by Kerrang! Magazine if the band would have to relearn ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ and ‘The Struggle Within’ – two songs from the Metallica album they've never played live – Ulrich replied: "Yeah. Although to be honest with you, a song like 'The Struggle Within' is a lot easier to re-learn than 'The Frayed Ends of Sanity'.
"I don't think it's going to be too difficult for us to figure out these songs."
Metallica will perform the Black Album in its entirety at the following European shows:
Oslo, Norway - May 23
Nürnberg, Germany - June 01
Nürburgring, Germany - June 02
Horsens, Denmark - June 06
Donington, England - June 09
Nickelsdorf, Austria - June 10
