• In 1983, no one could have imagined that Metallica would one day be one of the biggest bands in the world. Nobody had ever heard music like the four young savages from California played before. Until that summer, nothing sounded as hard, as intense and at the same time as precisely furious as their debut Kill 'Em All. Just a year later, the barely 20-year-olds stunned with an incredible leap of maturity on Ride The Lightning. Thrash metal was born and would set the world of heavy music on fire for good...
  Kill 'Em All captivates with its fusion of classic heavy metal riffs, as exemplified by Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath, with the breakneck tempos of hardcore and punk, all fueled by the adrenaline of young, angry dudes who don't give a damn about musical convention or the glam-influenced rock sounds of the day. Even on their debut, Metallica amazes with a virtuosity you wouldn't have expected from these youngsters, whether it's Hetfield's brutally precise riffs or Hammett's light-fingered solos.
