A thunderclap heralding the evolution of thrash metal.
A historic masterpiece that combines wild speed with architectural beauty.
This was Metallica's second album, and it established their style. Its blend of speed, heaviness, and melody had a major influence on subsequent metal bands. Its dramatic developments and socially conscious lyrics make it a representative work of '80s thrash.
