There's A Brand New Intensity In Metallica That Has Never Been There Before

St. Anger

The rock band that put the Metal in Heavy Metal returns with one of their heaviest albums thus far. It is a return to the early days of Metallica, resembling their initial album, Kill 'Em All. Unlike their albums of the past 10 years, there isn't a single mellow song on this new release. It is simple flat out full throttle metal guitar along with the hardest drumming Lars Ulrich has turned out in a long time.

Metallica Reloaded

A great addition to the album is the bonus DVD with more than an hour of video footage of the band and their recording sessions. Every band ought to do this; then again not every band is as great to watch as Metallica.

The Early Early Early Times

In a current Rolling Stones interview, Metallica lead singer James Hetfield recounted a few of his early days as a hard rock enthusiast.

"Probably the most memorable was the California World Music Festival. It had been one of those two-day things. The first night was Ted Nugent, Van Halen with no Aerosmith. I must have been fifteen or 16. I remember following around my pal, who was selling drugs. He tore up a part of his ticket (it had this kind of rainbow edge) and he cut it into pieces and sold it as acid. I was like, what are you doing, man? He used the cash to buy beer."

Monsters Of Rock

James Hetfield confesses that the days during the Monsters of Rock tour were a major fog. Complete with a Jagermeister shellacking. He says it was okay to feel drunk and messed-up back in those times, but ultimately it just wasn't a good thing. There were lots of dads and moms along with husbands and boyfriends looking for him when the band went back to those towns.

Nabbing Napster

Metallica rocked the music industry when they sued Napster, the rock shop music company that supplied the free-swapping file-sharing app that changed the course of music history. Supporters were outraged and felt Metallica was bullying the free system.

However, ultimately the industry sided with the band; after all it was the band that was being distressed by their enthused fans. In time it would've been the parasite that bled this tuneful turnip dry.

Master Of Puppets

Oddly enough however, quite a few fans were quick to site that Metallica obtained their foothold on heavy metal when the band provided a few tape-trading friends with a demo tape known as, "No Life 'Til Leather."

The seven-song album was dubbed and re-dubbed and then dubbed some more until the tape had hop scotched across the globe from California to Germany. In a few short months the band had risen from obscurity with a legion of worldwide fans, all a result of the free trade of their music.

Headbangers' Ball

Hetfield indicates, "We're looking forward to spreading this brand new lust for life we have. There's a new strength in Metallica that has never been there before. There are still fearful parts, too. But I'm pretty much set up. And I'm really happy with the new music. I think we did something where the pedal doesn't let up."
