Metallica breaks world record

Metallica have been entered into the Guinness World Records 2015 edition for their touring accomplishments. The band have been recognised for being the first musical act to perform a concert on every continent in one year. 

 They set the record after playing 10 tracks for 120 scientists and competition winners in a transparent dome at Carlini Station in Antarctica in December 2013 – a show titled Freeze ‘Em All. The gig followed shows in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
