Kill 'Em All is regarded as a groundbreaking album for thrash metal because of its precise musicianship, which fuses new wave of British heavy metal riffs with hardcore punk tempos.
Ride the Lightning is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released on July 27, 1984, by the independent record label Megaforce Records.
Not Motorhead's best but definitely some highlights on here, like Stone Deaf, Eat the Rich, and the title track. The band had just sacked drummer Pete Gill and brought back Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor.
After years of wild thrash metal, Metallica simplified everything and became the biggest band in the world. The Black Album’s dark, muscular sound would permanently alter the course of heavy music.
