About this deal

The production is not great of course but it's not bad either,you can hear everything loud and clear and guitars are barking pretty good. While bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Saxon shaped the new wave of British heavy metal in England in the 1980s, a new sub-genre is enjoying increasing popularity in America: thrash metal, led by Metallica. The band formed in Los Angeles in 1981. In the spring of 1982, the foursome recorded their first demo. The stage premiere followed about a month later. Anyway,brilliant debut,so important in the metal world and the best of Metallica is yet to come in next few years and next three albums. Cliff got real mad," Zazula told Wall, "but Lars goes, 'Kill 'em all … That's a good name.' I go, 'That's a great name!' The next thing you know the album was called Kill 'Em All." After Dave Mustaine left the band after a dispute and formed Megadeth, Kirk Hammett joined the band as a permanent guitarist. In the early years, James Hetfield and Co. could barely keep their heads above water. The first album, KILL 'EM ALL, was released in 1983. While it sold sluggishly in the United States, it became a commercial success in the UK. However, the big breakthrough is still a few years away and came in 1986 with the long player MASTER OF PUPPETS. Shop Metallica Merch

Hit The Lights,Metal Militia,Phantom Lord,No Remorse....every song on this LP is strong and stood the test of time even 40 years later.Vocal is raw and undeveloped as is Lars drumming,lots of Dave Mustaine in songs and great bass solo by Cliff. Knowing that their debut album needed a title that would succinctly sum up their music and attitude, the band had decided to call it Metal Up Your Ass, a title they'd originally used for a 1982 demo of live material. And just in case you didn't get the point, so to speak, the artwork offered the most literal depiction of the phrase that they could imagine. "We were gonna have a hand coming through a toilet bowl, holding a machete, dripping with blood," Lars Ulrich explained in a 1984 interview. "And the toilet had barbed wire around it. That would've gotten everyone squirming uncomfortably."
