Reload is the seventh album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released in 1997. (See 1997 in music). The album consists of material originally written during the writing sessions for the band's previous album, Load. Indeed, Metallica had initially hoped to release the Load & Reload songs as a double album, but that idea proved untenable for a variety of reasons. Aside from the album title, Reload also shares similar artwork with Load (both use pictures from Andres Serrano's Blood and Semen series) and a similarly distinctive blues rock feel in many of the songs. Finally, Reload was just as implicated as Load in Metallica's "selling out" controversy during the 1990s.
