About Metallica

Formed in Los Angeles in the early 1980s, Metallica helped define the thrash metal genre alongside a small group of contemporaries. Fronted by James Hetfield with drummer Lars Ulrich, the band rose from the underground metal scene to worldwide recognition, with their line-up also featuring lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo. Their catalogue includes landmark albums such as Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning and their self-titled 1991 release, often referred to as The Black Album, which became one of the best-selling records in rock history. Over the years the band have continued to release new music while remaining a staple of festivals and arena bills around the world, earning numerous awards and a place among the most commercially successful metal acts of all time. Metallica have built a formidable live reputation, known for high-energy performances, extended setlists that draw across their entire career, and a loyal international fanbase. Their concerts are widely regarded as a benchmark for large-scale rock shows.
