Metallica will be inducted into the California Hall of Fame in December. The band is among the inductees in the 20th class, who will be honored at a ceremony at the California Museum in Sacramento.
Formed in Los Angeles before relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area, Metallica has sold 125 million albums worldwide and amassed more than 17 billion streams, according to figures from Governor Gavin Newsom’s office.
The band was previously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009. Four years later, a concert in Antarctica made Metallica the first band to perform on all seven continents.
