Discography

Editorial Reviews

Metallica's self-titled fifth record, known among the faithful as the Black Album, remains a high-water mark for heavy metal even ten years after its release. James Hetfield's gruff vocals and blazing riffs fuel classics such as "Enter Sandman" and "Wherever I May Roam," and the earth-shaking rhythm section of Lars Ulrich and Jason Newsted supplies the songs with volcanic power behind Kirk Hammett's incendiary solos. The Black Album expanded Metallica's audience from cult to mainstream and secured their place in the rock 'n' roll pantheon. This Classic Albums series DVD chronicles the making of that metallic milestone through archival footage and recent interviews with the band and producer Bob Rock. All the inside information is here, from the personal tensions that electrified the recording sessions to the technical difficulties that nearly scuttled the results. Viewers also get the exclusive chance to hear parts of demos and original multitrack masters for the album. With a wealth of bonus interview footage, this disc is a must for any true metal lover.
