Fusing the rapid-fire attack of bands like Motorhead with a guitar style reminiscent of such British heavy metal bands as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Metallica essentially created a new kind of metal. Several of the songs from this 1983 album have since become classics, including "Seek & Destroy", "The Four Horsemen", and "Jump in the Fire".

A sort of mesh heavy metal's Black Sabbath and hard-rock/prog-rock's Rush. The riffs across the album are well constructed. Even when some of them begin to sound very similar a"
""Blood feeds the war machine
as it eats its way across the land
We don't need the feel the sorrow
No remorse is the one command."
Metallica's debut album for 1983, still as credible as any other Thrash masterpiece is quite a landmark, and shows the band at their best form of the early metal band.
Fueled by Dave Mustaine's solo work on certain tracks (one with a good ear don't need me to tell them what songs), and a good output all around, this is a standard Metal album carried over with great "
