They hope to release their debut album Open Your Omen later this year via Roadrunner Records - and previously showcased the tracks She Sees Everything and Simple Skeletons.

Originally released as the second single from the group's seventh album, "Jazz", the track reached No. 86 on the US charts and No. 9 in their native UK while the project peaked at No. 6 on the US Billboard 200 and at No. 2 on the UK album charts.

The group have also issued footage of their 1984 single, "I Want To Break Free", from Lisbon's Rock In Rio event, which marked the opening date of the band's summer festival tour, which will see the pairing perform 15 shows across Europe over 6 weeks, wrapping up in Padua, Italy on June 25.

Vol. 1 and Vol. 3 are set to make their streaming debut alongside physical reissues of the albums and several editions of the box set, including a limited-edition 2CD/DVD version, a standard 2CD/DVD package and a deluxe 180-gram vinyl collection.

Poulsen tells Finland's Kaaos TV: "I would never really call a writing process, a recording process smooth, because there's always a big challenge. There's a lot of work, a lot of frustration, a lot of emotions. It really takes time to get to the right songs.

Before anyone heard a note of Metallica's new music, people were arguing about their new look. On April 10, 1996, Alice In Chains recorded their episode of MTV Unplugged at New York's Brooklyn Academy of Music. All four members of Metallica - James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Jason Newstead - were in attendance. And they all had short hair. This was a big enough deal that, before the show, Alice's Mike Inez famously wrote "Friends Don't Let Friends Get Friends Haircuts" on his bass guitar.

Around the same time, it was announced that Metallica would be headlining Lollapalooza, the alternative-rock festival tour that had previously been headlined by Jane's Addiction, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Smashing Pumpkins.

I remember this pretty well, because I was working at a marketing company at the time, and the company specialized in heavy metal. And in 1996, metal was in flux; the prevailing wisdom in the music industry was that the genre was on its way out, and "alternative" was the new standard for rock music.

This put Metallica in a strange position, to say the least. They couldn't really disavow metal; it was literally in their name. And they were coming off of 1991's self-titled LP (known as "The Black Album"), the biggest album of their career, the one that saw them moving from thrash metal to more easily accessible hard rock. Would they change even more to fit in with the post-Nirvana world?

On the surface, it seemed like they did. There were the haircuts, of course. But the imagery went beyond that: they band had adopted many non-metal looks in their photo sessions, wearing eyeliner and going goth in some photos and adopting more of a rockabilly look in others. No longer were they working with metal photographer Ross Halfin; now they used Anton Corbin, more well known for the images he captured of U2 and Depeche Mode. Ulrich and Hammett even alluded to being bisexual. Meanwhile, Lars - always one to align himself with the band of the moment - started palling around with Oasis. Kick Hammett name dropped the Cocteau Twins, of all things. There was a lot of debate among fans about what this meant for Metallica, and what it meant for metal.

Nergal confirmed they'd started work on the follow-up to 2014's The Satanist earlier this year. He also hinted that the next album may take a post-punk influence.

He said: "I just try to keep my eyes and mind open for other genres. It's just amazing, the older I get, the more into blues I get. It's not direct inspiration for the radical music we make, but I do like avant-garde stuff.

Home Of The Wind is more than 70% on its way to reaching its target funding goal of �19,000 but still needs additional fan support before the June 11 deadline to make it happen.

The shows on the 19 and 20th of the month are being called Red Night and Black Night respectively, and will bring in an estimated total of 110,000 people - the largest number of fans to attend Babymetal's headline gigs.
