Metallica's 1983 debut, Kill 'Em All was the album that helped launch thrash metal. Fusing New Wave of British Heavy Metal riffs with hardcore punk tempos, the album arrived with surgical precision and street-level attitude at a time when rock's mainstream had none of either. Metallica shunned rockstar theatrics and let the music do the work: intricately structured compositions played at speed and volume that felt genuinely dangerous. The bands that followed in their wake are too numerous to count. This is a limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing of the digitally remastered edition.
