Metallica Embraces No Life ‘Til Leather Attitude on Seething 1983 Debut: Thrash Touchstone Kill ‘Em All Remastered on 180g Vinyl LP

Metallica‘s unrelenting legacy starts here. Originally released in 1983 and newly remastered on this energetic-sounding analog reissue, Kill ‘Em All is a thrash masterpiece and marks a turning point in heavy metal. Fusing ferocious attack with a fluid guitar style reminiscent of NWOBHM bands as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Metallica helped create a new style that went on to influence an untold number of groups. The San Francisco quartet never sounded more raw, youthful, or nasty as it does here. Embracing a no-life-tip-leather credo and punk-inspired innocence, Metallica takes the name and meaning of one of the iconic tracks here – “No Remorse” – to heart in every way.
