Metallica is the definitive heavy metal band, the group that brought the gnarly underground sounds of thrash metal into the mainstream, then reshaped the contours of heavy music and hard rock once they became the biggest rock band in the world after the release of their self-titled "black album" in 1991. By that point, Metallica already had experienced enough upheaval for two careers. Emerging from the feverish metal underground of the early '80s, Metallica became a word-of-mouth sensation with their indie releases Kill 'Em All and Ride the Lightning, records that helped them land a contract with Elektra. Master of Puppets, their major-label debut, found the band marshaling their forces but months after its release, the band suffered a tragic bus accident that killed bassist Cliff Burton. Vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield, drummer Lars Ulrich, and guitarist Kirk Hammett forged ahead with Jason Newsted, who appeared on 1988's …And Justice for All, their first album to reach the Billboard Top Ten. Once Metallica turned the band into superstars in the early '90s, the group sustained their popularity as they explored new territory, streamlining their sound for Load and Re-Load, then recording the orchestral collaboration S&M with the San Francisco Symphony. Despite their success, Metallica still had inner troubles, many of which they aired on Some Kind of Monster, a documentary about the recording of St. Anger, their first album without Newsted. With bassist Robert Trujillo coming aboard in 2003, Metallica eventually reconnected with the spirit of speed metal on 2008's Death Magnetic, then discovered ways to mature metal on 2016's Hardwired…To Self-Destruct and 2023's 72 Seasons.
