Metallica

Det är otroligt att tänka tanken att Metallicas självbetitlade album (i folkmun känt som "The Black Album") har 30 år på nacken. Men det har det, och här är en remastrad version. Detta var bandets femte album och de gick från att vara hjältar i underground-scenen till att bli världens största hårdrocksband.<br/><br/>Albumet "Metallica" inkluderar singlar som "Enter Sandman", "The Unforgiven", "Nothing Else Matters", "Sad But True" och "Wherever I May Roam" och har sålt i över 35 miljoner exemplar.<br/><br/>CD - remastrad version som släpps i en förpackning som imiterar en vinyl gatefold.

Metallica är ett av världens största hårdrocksband - detta är satt utom allt tvivel! Inget band har som Metallica fört fram den tyngre metallen; de har haft megahits som "Nothing Else Matters", "Master Of Puppets" och såklart "Enter Sandman".<br/><br/>Äntligen är det så dags för kvartetten att släppa sitt tolfte studioalbum som fått titeln "72 Seasons". Första singeln "Lux Æterna" var ett rejält styrkebesked - det här var Metallica i sitt esse, låten är snabb, tung och sitter som ett knytnävsslag mitt i magen. <br/> <br/>Om albumtiteln säger James Hetfield: <br/>"72 seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told 'who we are' by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry."

Det tog lång tid innan Metallica släppte uppföljaren till sitt berömda svarta album. 1996 kom "Load" och här finner man ett annat Metallica än under de tidiga åren. Detta är inte thrash, det är genomarbetade, tighta och polerade heavy metal låtar med mycket bra ljud.

Metallica and San Francisco Symphony's September 6 & 8, 2019 S&M2 concerts were historic on multiple levels: They served as the grand opening of San Francisco's Chase Center, reunited the band and Symphony for the first time since the 1999 performances captured on the Grammy-winning S&M album, and featured the first-ever symphonic renditions of songs written and released since those original S&M shows.<br/><br/>The sold out shows were rapturously received by the 40,000 fans who traveled from nearly 70 countries, as well as the media: Rolling Stone raved "the group proved that anything was possible," Variety noted an atmosphere "buzzing with excitement," while the Mercury News witnessed "a concert that fans will be talking about for decades to come," and Consequence of Sound hailed "a true celebration of Metallica and their musical prowess." <br/><br/>S&M2 is a landmark release in the Metallica catalogue, both sonically and visually. Produced by Greg Fidelman with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, the S&M2 live album captures more than two and a half hours of James, Lars, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo joining forces with the nearly 80-strong SF Symphony, legendary Musical Director of the orchestra Michael Tilson Thomas, and conductor Edwin Outwater. The concert film is a brand-new edit done by Joe Hutching (Through The Never) and both the audio and visuals have been taken to the next level from the October 2019 theatrical version that played in over 3,700 cinemas worldwide.
