Apple Music and Metallica have announced an “immersive concert experience” film created for the Apple Vision Pro headset.
Simply titled “Metallica,” the Apple Immersive concert experience was filmed during the band’s final “M72” stop of 2024 in Mexico City, featuring full performances of “Whiplash”, “One” and “Enter Sandman”, all captured exclusively in Apple Immersive Video. It will be available for free only on Apple Vision Pro starting March 14. The songs featured in “Metallica” will also be available as a new EP, Metallica Live from Mexico City, in Spatial Audio on Apple Music this Friday.
Metallica said in a statement: “This project marks a new foray into immersive technology, using ultra-high-resolution 180-degree video and Spatial Audio to give fans unprecedented access from vantage points as close up as the Snake Pit to wide-angle views. It brings the live show to a whole new level, and to achieve this, Apple built a custom stage plot featuring 14 Apple Immersive Video cameras using a mix of stabilized cameras, cable-suspended cameras, and remote-controlled camera dolly systems that moved around the stage.”
