Metallica is a thrash metal band from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 1981 by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, the band quickly gained recognition with their contribution to the compilation record "Metal Massacre". With the addition of bassist Cliff Burton and lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, Metallica released their debut LP "Kill 'Em All" in 1983. They went on to release several critically acclaimed albums including "Master Of Puppets" and the self-titled "Black Album", which became one of the best-selling rock albums of all time.

Throughout their career, Metallica has experimented with different music styles, including alternative rock on albums like "Load" and "Reload". In 1999, they collaborated with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra for an album called "S&M". The band faced challenges in the early 2000s when bassist Jason Newsted left and frontman James Hetfield entered rehab. However, they persevered and released the album "St. Anger" in 2003.

In recent years, Metallica made a triumphant return to thrash metal with their album "Death Magnetic", produced by Rick Rubin. They were also honored with induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2009. Despite some missteps along the way, Metallica remains one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time.

Master of Puppets is the third studio album by Metallica; released on March 3 1986 (last year marked its 30th Anniversary). Recorded at the Sweet Silence Studios with producer Flemming Rasmussen, it was the first Metallica album released on a major label. Master of Puppets was the band's last album to feature bassist Cliff Burton, who died in a bus crash in Sweden during the album's promotional tour. Master of Puppets was released to critical acclaim and has been included in several publications' best album lists. Its driving, virtuosic music and angry, political lyrics drew praise from critics outside the metal community. The album is considered the band's strongest effort of the period and is one of the most influential heavy metal albums. Critics credit it for consolidating the American thrash metal scene with its atmospheric and meticulously performed songs. Such was its success that it sold over 6millions copies in the US alone!
