Metallica
Kill 'Em All

THE REVIEW

"Oh trough the mist and the
Madness
we are triyng to get the message
To you
Metal militia"

Absolutely stunning. This is how Metallica's career kicks off, with a raw, violent, and furious album. Back then, they were just four pimply seventeen-year-olds, so drunk that at the end of the concerts they didn't even remember what they had played. And that’s how we loved those legendary Metal knights like crazy. The album features purely Thrash Metal sounds so chaotic that just hearing them makes you want to mosh.
"The Four Horsemen" is the track that embodies all the aggression of the great 'Tallica. With its finger-breaking riffs, it exalts the power of the guitars. Another significant track is "Jump In The Fire," in whose final part we hear one of the coolest solos on the album.
There are also dark tones in the album, truly spine-chilling as in "Phantom Lord." In the next two tracks, Kirk's skill is showcased with his stunning solos. The disc closes with "Metal Militia," where the guys recruit all of us into the Metal militia through the album's most ear-shattering song.

A fantastic album that marks the beginning of a truly intense career. Especially with this album, it celebrates the anger and desire to create chaos of the greatest band in the history of Thrash Metal and beyond. A really great start that represents a mastery of technique. An album absolutely to have or at least to listen to, because there are few masterpieces like this around.
