2nd album from 1984 by the American METALLICA, a landmark release that expanded the boundaries of Thrash Metal and established the band as one of the genre’s leading forces. “Ride the Lightning” retained the speed and aggression of its predecessor while introducing greater musical sophistication, stronger melodies and more ambitious songwriting.
Featuring classics such as “Fight Fire with Fire”, “For Whom the Bell Tolls”, “Fade to Black”, “Creeping Death” and the title track, the album showcases a band rapidly evolving beyond the conventions of early Thrash Metal and developing a sound that would influence countless generations of musicians.
Recommended for fans of MEGADETH, ANTHRAX, TESTAMENT and EXODUS.
