Pro-Ject and Metallica Drop High-End Limited Edition Turntable at Munich 2022

The Pro-Ject Metallica Limited Edition Turntable might be the “One” for fans of the iconic heavy metal band this summer.

Pro-Ject Metallica Limited Edition Turntable with Logo

Branded turntable collabs usually crash and burn, slapped together with nothing more than a paint job and some stickers—basically cash grabs riding on fan nostalgia. But Pro-Ject’s Metallica edition flips the script. This isn’t just a flashy collector’s item; it’s a full-on audio beast that looks killer and actually sounds like it could tear through Master of Puppetswith authority. Now that’s how you do a metal-themed turntable right.

Pro-Ject Metallica Limited Edition Turntable Front

Metallica chose Pro-Ject as their partner to collaborate on the Metallica-themed turntable, continuing the brand’s proud tradition of collaborations with artists. Pro-Ject’s design team treated the surface of the new turntable with a mirror-finished metal logo contour to give the player its distinctive look, a bold aesthetic that resonates with the iconic rock band. 

Sumiko and Pro-Ject USA are thrilled to preview the new special-edition

    I am a Pro-Ject enthusiast and wish to buy another of their turntables and have been saving for the Automat A1 because I like automatic turntables and I like Pro-Ject turntables.

    I like The Beatles. A LOT! I do not how ever care much for Pro-Ject’s “Yellow Submarine” turntable. I have the Essential based 50th Anniversary Drum Kit Sgt. Pepper’s ‘table because:

    The ‘table LOOKS like a turntable, i.e., classic and yet still able to pay homage to the Fab Four with out looking Drab ‘n’ Dour. Or just plain weird.

    While I have never been much of a Metallica kind of toad, I can under stand those that are. I am more inclined toward Led Zeppelin and ELP (and by some association, King Crimson!) and of those two bands perhaps an acrylic platter atop H.R. Giger’s signature artwork from their superb album, “Brain Salad Surgery” is best suited for Pro-Ject to produce a turntable worthy of the Emerson, Lake & Palmer. What to do for a Zeppelin influenced ‘table I am uncertain of but I do think their music is vastly superior to any thing Metallica ever did but again, I am far from having much, if any, interest in Metallica’s music.

    For fans of the band in particular and the genre in general, this player might well be much sought after. It does seem a bit pricey but again I am not acolyte of the group.

    I do how ever, pray to the gods that Pro-Ject NEVER sees fit to pay homage and obeisance to that hideous harpy, Yoko Ono. One can only imagine a turntable that even the creature from “Aliens” would find too horrid to look upon, much less listen to any thing it has ever “sung”.

    And so this pretentious pollywog signs off saying, not my cup o’ Joe, but that does not make it a Keurig Katastrophe for fans of the semi seminal Heavy Metal group.

    Pretentious…LOL!
