And Justice For All’: How Metallica Won The Verdict And Went Mainstream

Metallica have never been afraid to follow their own path. From debut album Kill
’Em All through to fourth album … And Justice For All they dared to push the
frenetic limits of thrash metal. In the process, they set the blueprint for what
would become speed metal; shocked everyone with the acoustic intro to second album,
Ride The Lightning, and the casual inclusion of the balladic “Fade To Black;” and
attracted major-label budgets and a big-time management company with 1986’s Master
Of Puppets. All the while, the group exhibited the guts to experiment with song
structures. Listen to … And Justice For All. For Master Of Puppets the thrash
titans displayed a more controlled approach to songwriting, partly due to bassist
Cliff Burton’s classical training; the realization came that sounding as heavy as a
sack of bricks didn’t necessarily mean playing at breakneck speed. During extensive
touring in support of the album, however, Burton was tragically killed in a bus
crash after a show in Stockholm, on September 26. It was a devastation that could
have finished the group. Metallica, however, believed the late bassist would have
wanted them to carry on, and, with his family’s blessing, the San Francisco-based
thrashers vowed to honor his legacy. A little over a month later – but not without
40 or more auditions – the band settled on Jason Newsted from little-known Phoenix,
Arizona, thrashers Flotsam And Jetsam as their new bassist. His live debut came at
the Country Club in Reseda, California, on November 8, 1986, while his first
recording session bore the covers collection The $5.98 EP: Garage Days Re-
Revisited. But Metallica’s next studio album would be the real test as to whether
they could overcome the loss of the creative force and commanding presence that was
Cliff Burton. And so, on September 5, 1988, came … And Justice For All. The title
itself is taken from the US Pledge Of Allegiance, so it’s unsurprising that,
thematically, the album explores the concepts of justice and freedom through the
themes of war and politics. Opening track ‘Blackened’ sets out the stall in the no-
messing-around way Metallica had kicked off each previous album. Credited in part
to Newsted, it cemented the bassist firmly in Metallica’s ranks. Story continues On
the title track, the Bay Area thrashers pushed unconventional song structures and
arrangements to the extreme. The near-ten-minute epic builds from a gentle twin-
guitar intro into an explosion of militaristic-style riffs, twisting and turning at
will with short, sharp shocks of thrash flourishes and even Thin Lizzy-influenced
guitar harmonies. Just when you think the song has settled into its stride it turns
on its heel and casually throws the listener an unexpected curveball, setting a
standard that continues through the likes of “Eye Of The Beholder” and “Frayed Ends
Of Sanity.” The metal titans clearly weren’t chasing radio airplay with their
fourth-long player; only one track clocked in under six minutes. It’s ironic, then,
that in the album’s third single, “One,” Metallica earned their first worldwide
hit, claiming a Top 40 spot on the Billboard charts and breaking the Top 20 in the
UK and Top 5 elsewhere in Europe. An anti-war song, “One” depicts a fallen war hero
made quadriplegic, blind, deaf, and mute by a landmine, and is based on the Dalton
Trumbo-directed movie Johnny Got His Gun. It was accompanied by Metallica’s first
foray into music videos, which featured clips from the film after the band bought
the rights to it. If you were starting to think that they’d forgotten how to play
heavy, “The Shortest Straw”’s bludgeoning opening riff is a stark reminder that no
one does heavy quite like Metallica in this thrash metal maelstrom. And if there
was a danger of over-complicated song structures taking over, they’re pared right
back on “Harvester Of Sorrow,” which displays a new dimension of heaviness in its
relative simplicity, effectively maintaining one riff and form throughout. “To Live
Is To Die,” meanwhile, was created as a tribute to the late Cliff Burton and
features basslines recorded before the musician’s untimely death. Then the whole
epically creative opus draws to a frenetic conclusion with “Dyers Eve.” … And
Justice For All peaked at No.6 on the Billboard album chart and achieved platinum
status two months later. After lingering on the charts for a mammoth 83 weeks, the
album would earn Metallica their first Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance
– which they famously lost to Jethro Tull. And yet, where … And Justice For All may
once have never been made at all, Metallica created an album that opened the door
to a world it’s now impossible to imagine without them. Buy or stream … And Justice
For All. For the latest music news and exclusive features, check out uDiscover

Metallica Metals Files NI 43-101 Technical Report and Earns 100% Interest in the
Starr Gold-Silver Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 6, 2022) - Metallica

Metals Corp. (CSE: MM) (OTCQB: MTALF) (FSE: SY7P) (the "Company" or "Metallica
Metals") is pleased to announce that it has filed a NI 43-101 Technical Report on
its flagship Starr gold-silver project ("Starr" or the "Project"), located in the
Thunder Bay Mining District of Ontario, Canada. It can be found on SEDAR at
https://www.sedar.com and has been posted on the Company website at Starr Property
NI 43-101. The report focuses on the Company's recently completed 4,426m diamond
drill program, detail of assay results, and suggestions for future exploration. The
Company is also pleased to announce it has now obtained a 100% interest in the
Starr Project. This is an important milestone for Metallica Metals and signifies
the Company's belief in resource expansion and further Au-Ag discoveries. Technical
Report and Project Highlights: 4,426m of diamond drilling completed across the
central and eastern portions of the Starr property. An area never previously
drilled in the east contained newly discovered mineralization and has been named
the Brandi Zone. Intercept highlights include 34.9m at 1.11 g/t Au from STR21-001,
25.75m at 1.14 g/t Au from STR21-003 and 14.2m at 4.1 g/t Au from STR21-004.
Mineralization at the main Starr showing is open in all directions. Surface
showings on west side of property remain to be drill tested. Aaron Stone, CEO of
Metallica Metals, commented, "We are pleased to file the NI 43-101 Technical Report
on our flagship Starr gold-silver project. The results from our recently completed
drill program confirm the high-grade nature of mineralization contained in the
central portion of the property, in addition to demonstrating the great potential
for further discoveries on the underworked eastern and western parts of the
project. The new discovery at the previously undrilled Brandi Zone is a perfect
example of the future prospects for this project. This report has provided us with
a fantastic overview of the project and has given us a clear exploration path to
follow. Obtaining a 100% interest in the project is another accomplishment for us.
The Company is excited by the progression on the property and is committed to
expanding the known footprint of mineralization." Figure 2: Location of Metallica

Study Finds Metallica's "Enter Sandman" Most Misheard Song in U.S.

While this might come as a surprise to metalheads who've had the chorus

to Metallica's biggest song drilled into their brains for the last 30 years,
apparently there're a shit-ton of people out there who have trouble understanding
the lyrics of "Enter Sandman." In a new study conducted by Wordfinder that focuses
on "mondegreens" — when a "word or phrase results from a mishearing especially of
something recited or sung" — the researchers discovered that Metallica's 1991 smash
hit is the most commonly misheard song in the U.S., with 70% of the participants
thinking that the chorus is, "Eggs and light/End all nights" — a complete bungling
of the actual lyrics, "Exit light/Enter night."  According to the data, it was
millennial and Gen Z participants who were most likely to mishear "Enter Sandman's"
lyrics, but Gen X listeners weren't far off. That said, despite Metallica's song
being the most misheard of all the tracks in the study — which also included
everything from Drake's "The Motto" and Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" to Nirvana's
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" — metal, along with R&B, are the genres that are
least likely to be misunderstood by listeners. For some reason "Enter Sandman" is
just a wacky outlier. So next time you hear one of your normie friends mumbling,
"Eggs and light," make sure you correct them. There are no eggs in never, never
land.
