Metallica's first and best album. Heavily influenced by Venom and Motorhead but took it up another notch with the superior guitar soloing of former Exodus guitarist Kirk Hammett. Reworks demos from 1981's Hit the Lights 7-inch and 1982's No Life Til Leather (featuring Dave Mustaine on lead guitars/lead vocals) and vastly improves on their song structure. Song list found in another prior UD definition. All songs are raw and not overproduced - the opposite of every Metallica album afterwards. Originally released on Megaforce Records in May 1983.
