Featuring an endless expulsion of the most complex, hard-hitting yet instantaneously memorable metallic, progressive thrash of not just the 80's, but of any decade; one look at the tracklist should see iconic bangers leaping off the sleeve. Ask a Metallica lifer what's truly the group's finest moment, and any worth their salt will point you towards .

From the intense opening cut 'Battery' to the aforementioned and incomparable title-track, to the haunting 'Welcome Home (Sanitarium)', all the way to the epic instrumental monster 'Orion', this third LP took the promise of the band's preceding 1984 effort 'Ride The Lightning', and lofted it into the metal stratosphere. The eight-time Grammy winners release their highly anticipated 12th studio Album titled '72 Seasons'. Review: Following on from their iconic 1982 debut full-length Kill 'Em All, the sophomore effort from thrash metal titans Metallica would mark their turn towards not just darker but more introspective and dynamic songwriting. Review: There's no thrash, or general metal album, apart from possibly Black Sabbath's Paranoid, that's as instantly recognisable as Metallica's 1986 magnum opus Master Of Puppets.

Guitarist Dave Mustaine (who went on to form Megadeth after being fired from the band) and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton (who died in a bus accident in Sweden in 1986) and Jason Newsted are former members of the band.

Sleeves also have catalog numbers corresponding to each record: 510 027-1 and 510-028-1 printed on lyric side.

Finally, the band’s self-titled fifth album Metallica (aka the Black Album), the first Metallica album to reach No. Well, for life long devotees of the consummate thrashers, it most surely is, and finally here comes their twelfth studio album via their own Blackened Recordings. Review: Metallica's self-titled fifth full-length, subsequently dubbed 'The Black Album', still serves as the controversial bridging point from their iconic run of four definitive thrash metal classics throughout the 80's, to their more sporadic and messy 90s output. With 77 diverse minutes, the Album offers every fan the opportunity to completely immerse themselves in the work.
