Review: If you've seen Metallica live and in the flesh you'll appreciate how ferocious their shows are. Review: Metallica's self-titled fifth full-length, subsequently dubbed 'The Black Album', still serves as the controversial bridging point from their iconic run of four definitive thrash metal classics throughout the 80's, to their more sporadic and messy 90s output.

Ride The Lightning, Metallica’s 6 x Platinum sophomore album will be released on Dec 1, 2023 pressed on 180g ‘Electric Blue’ vinyl, also featuring the 2016 remastered audio. Marking their first work following the tragic passing of bassist Cliff Burton, the album has become controversial for its notable muting of (at the time) newcomer Jason Newsted's performance, yet it's immensely difficult to ignore a project that boasts some of the band's finest material, from the breakneck paced opener 'Blackened' to the grooving intensity of 'Harvester Of Sorrow' to the Johnny Got His Gun based psychological metal ballad 'One'. Review: There's no thrash, or general metal album, apart from possibly Black Sabbath's Paranoid, that's as instantly recognisable as Metallica's 1986 magnum opus Master Of Puppets.

The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and has been based in San Francisco for most of its career. All the classic Metallica moves are here on an album James Hetfield says is about the first eighteen years (or '72 Seasons') of our lives and how it shapes us into adulthood. This album showcases the highlights from Metallica’s legendary concert at Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas, on 5 February 1989. Books, media, tickets, Rammstein, Die Ärzte, Die Toten Hosen, Feine Sahne Fischfilet, Broilers, New Balance, Böhse Onkelz, Funko Pop! Released on August 12, 1991, by Elektra Records, it is commonly referred to as The Black Album because of its packaging design.

Metallica has announced plans to press its’ first five studio albums on special limited edition colored vinyl, available ex-North America. Well, for life long devotees of the consummate thrashers, it most surely is, and finally here comes their twelfth studio album via their own Blackened Recordings. Metallica's self-titled fifth full-length, subsequently dubbed 'The Black Album', still serves as the controversial bridging point from their iconic run of four definitive thrash metal classics throughout the 80's, to their more sporadic and messy 90s output.
