Metallica BIO

Metallica is one the most successful heavy metal bands in history comprised of members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo.  Metallica's first string of albums included 1983's Kill 'Em All, 1984's Ride the Lightning and 1986's Master of Puppets.  After the tragic death of then bassist Cliff Burton from a tour bus accident, Metallica was able to regroup and move forward with the album ...And Justice for All which garnered them their first Grammy Award for the single "One".  Metallica released a self-titled album (aka The Black Album) in 1991 which included the string of popular singles "Enter Sandman", "Nothing Else Matters", "Sad But True" and "The Unforgiven".   Metallica's 1996 album Load brought about the hit singles "Hero of the Day", "King Nothing" and "Bleeding Me".  The band followed up this success with the albums Reload with the singles "Fuel" and "Better Than You" as well as the album Garage Inc with the singles "Turn the Page" and "Whiskey in the Jar".  In 2003, Metallica released the album St. Anger and further soldified their iconic status with singles such as "Frantic" and "Some Kind of Monster".  The loyal fans of Metallica would have to wait patiently for five years until the band finally exploded back onto the scene with a slew of singles such as "The Day the Never Comes", "My Apocalypse", "Cyanide", "The Judas Kiss" and "The Unforgiven III" from their 2008 album Death Magnetic.
