“Being a Lifeblood ambassador and also a Metallica fan, it is so exciting to have both of these guys join forces…I am so pumped for this.”
“Plasma donations are so important for me because every six weeks I have a treatment called IVIg, which is plasma derived, and so that regulates my immune system and helps my inflammation and basically enables me to live a full life.”

Blood and metal: a life-changing collab.
This isn’t the first time Metallica has celebrated the life-saving power of metal-loving blood donors. During the recent M72 World Tour in the US, Metallica and their foundation, All Within My Hands, helped the American Red Cross collect more than 2,000 blood and platelet donations in their first go, and they’re still going.
Now it’s Australia’s turn. How many donations will Aussie fans make? It’s all within your hands…

The shirts are only available at the participating CBD donor centres coinciding with the week leading up to Metallica’s M72 concerts in each city.
We hope that doesn’t make us The Unforgiven. Metallica, All Within My Hands and Lifeblood still appreciate your support. Every donation still saves lives: a sea of hearts beat as one.

- I’m eligible for a Lifeblood Gift at my next donation. Can I get a Metallica t-shirt at the same donation?
Yes. You deserve double the reward.
- What’s the story behind the design?
The design came from the mind of Squindo, the artist behind some of Metallica’s most iconic art. The one-of-a-kind design for Lifeblood donors features the band’s famous ‘A Sea of Hearts Beat As One’ lyric, encapsulated within a blood drop, as well as a visual nod to Aussie rock and Metallica fans.
