Bob Rock does big, fat, and comfortable as a producer, with the latest in studio technology at his fingertips, while Discharge would have been recorded as quickly as possible on zero budget.
It’s hard to sound desperate when you’re a multi-millionaire living comfortably.
Metallica just can’t reproduce the same feel. Discharge’s originals are scuzzy and discordant, from a band on the verge of starvation. However, Metallica aren’t too good at Discharge, with “Free Speech For The Dumb” and “The More I See” bookending this disc. We know this because of their covers excellent of The Misfits, and Anti-Nowhere League’s utterly filthy “So What”.

These run the full gamut of Metallica’s musical tastes, and some work better than others. “Garage Inc.” as a covers and B-sides compilation album lays bare the influences mixed in to Metallica’s thrash metal roots which made “Metallica”, “Load”, and “Re-Load” the albums which led the band to world domination.ĭisc 1 of this double album is freshly recorded covers. By the turn of the millennium, Metallica had become the biggest band in metal bar none, and was surpassed in popular music by only a handful of artists, but in creating new music thrash metal had been left far behind. The band and genre was somewhat niche, and not particularly well known outside metal and alternative music scenes. The 1990s saw Metallica start the decade as thrash metal’s biggest band. So, Kill ‘Em All has a place in my metal heart since I’ve listened to it first time. Anyways, the opening theme of this show was Metal Militia, the closing track of this album! And only years later I would know it, because in that pre-internet era all we could listen were the songs from the Black Album onwards, which played ad nauseam in the media at the time. It was, for a long time, one of my only sources for metal these days, since the radio was crap (still is…) and only few friends shared my musical tastes.

When I was a kid, I remember seeing a brazilian TV show named Fúria MTV. Songs like Seek and Destroy and Whiplash would become immortal thrash classics, and other less known tracks, like Hit the Lights and Metal Milita are pretty great too! There’s even some experimentalism, with the instrumental (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth.Īnd I have a personal story with this album. Kill E’m All is basically a mix of Motorhead, Diamond Head, Budgie, Misfits, even some Iron Maiden… Again, nothing wrong, they manage to package all these influences with a Metallica flavour after all. We are talking about thrash metal, so these aren’t bad characteristics in this context.Īnd like most the debuts, their early influences are more obvious here. The sound is rougher and cruder than any of their late albums, the songs have an urgency that would be more polished later. The first Metallica album, like most debuts, has the energy and excitement generally found in young musicians.
