It was founded in 1981 by James. They released their first album in 1983. The name of the album is Kill em i. Seek and Destroy is the best song of this album in my opinion. In the 80s and 90s, there was a serious interest in metallica and similar metal music groups in our country. One group was coming and the other was leaving. It coincided with my childhood and I didn't get to live much of those times. Dave, whom we know from the band Megadeth, also contributed to this album. They released this album in 1983 and they got so much attention that they released the album ride the ligthing in 1984. The best song of this album, in my opinion, is Fade to Black. At that time, CD DVD was on the shelves. It wasn't less than 15₺ and we were waiting in line despite that. We are entering the year 2022 and I can say that it is history now. With this album, Metallica won the metal band of the year award. Metallica started to make a name for itself from that time. In 1987, the band was shocked when their bass guitarist was crushed under a truck and died at the age of 24. Master of Puppets should not be ignored either. One of the most ambitious songs of the group is MoP. After the death of their bass guitarist, they rolled up their sleeves for their 4th studio album.Jason Newsted joined the cast as bass player. In this album, they lost the Grammy award to Jethro Tull. They went back to the studio for the recording of the black album.the producer of this album was bob rock. The newly arrived bassist was like an outcast in the band. In 1996, they entered the studio again for the album Load. The album went down in history as the best album of all time.

If you are aware, we are now in the 90's. It was my childhood time and I remember more or less. A lot of music groups were coming to Istanbul. I watched some of them live. But after the millennium I was aware of some things. It was clear that we were going to go completely digital.

At that time, Metallica released an album called S M and one of their most popular songs, Nothing else Matters, was in it. Also, Call of the Ktulu took its place in this album.

In 2001 the bassist left the band.

From that date on, I think Metallica was not the old Metallica. I know metallica with their old songs.The group has aged completely. But it should be said that I think that the works they left are immortal, even if they are not themselves in the future.
