Metallica made history when they became the first and only band to perform a concert on all seven of Earth’s continents after entertaining 120 scientists and competition winners at Carlini Station in Antarctica on December 8th, 2013. The hour-long show, appropriately dubbed “Freeze ‘Em All”, saw the rock band perform ten tracks. With a Hall of Fame-caliber career spanning more than three decades, the band earned a spot in the 60th Anniversary edition of the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS 2015 book after a whirlwind year in 2013 performing concerts in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and Antarctica.
Metallica’s lead vocalist, James Hetfield commented, “Seven continents in one year with Antarctica being THE gig of a lifetime...Yes, 120 scientists and competition winners. Not to mention the 300 very curious penguins!”
