Pick up Metallica T-Shirt: 40 XXXX in black soft-style cotton — officially licensed Metallica merchandise fronting the 40th anniversary XXXX Roman-numeral mark from the 2021-22 celebration cycle.

Metallica formed in Los Angeles in October 1981 when Lars Ulrich answered James Hetfield's Recycler ad, and the group's Bay Area-adjacent thrash sound went on to define the run through Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets and the black album. The XXXX cycle marked the forty-year window with a pair of headline shows at Chase Center in San Francisco in December 2021, and the anniversary type mark distills the milestone down to a heavy Roman-numeral graphic that reads sharp on a plain tee.

Printed on soft-style cotton in a unisex short-sleeve cut, sized for daily rotation. Easy pairing with denim and worn-in trainers or layered under a hoodie for the gig-day rotation.
