METALLICA

Release Year: 1998
Artist Origin: USA
Style: expressive melodic heavy thrash metal

regardless of fans being separated in two camps - those accepting and denying later material, the legendary four-piece has unleashed this double album of covers, cramming this way a damn important part of their career into one heavy-weighted package, setting forth an evolutionary perspective from quite a different angle, as ear-splitting recordings span from the kult 1984's session up to the latest tracks nailed in 1998, that have much more in common with their own albums of that time; on top of that it is illustrated with 32 page booklet full of vintage photo material and extensive liner notes for literally each track - this is a unique edition, documenting the development of the most talked about heavy ensemble and entire movement, also paying tribute to both Cliff Burton and those often forgotten heroes that inspired Metallica at certain stages in a meaningful way
