Until the end of the year, three albums are to be released every Monday in the order they played the shows, beginning with Bogotá, Colombia.

Fans can also purchase a special box set of all 27 shows, sold on the website but not dispatched until December.

The four most popular shows - as decided by a fan poll - will be made available on limited edition 180-gram vinyl discs early in 2015.

Metallica this year set a Guinness World Record for being the first band to play all seven continents in 12 months.

James Hetfield, frontman said: "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!"
