Metallica: The Stories Behind the Songs
Metallica grew from the fledgling thrash metal scene of the early 1980s to become one of the biggest metal acts in the history of music. They have released a slew of critically acclaimed albums over the years and they still play sell out concerts around the globe. Metallica's music has been constantly innovative, breaking the boundaries of what constitutes heavy metal and skilfully appealing to a huge global audience.
Metallica: The Stories Behind the Songs explores the writing and recording of the band's greatest records, including classic albums such as Master of Puppets (1986) and Metallica ("the black album") (1991), right through to 2016's Hardwired... to Self-Destruct. This is the perfect book for any metalhead who wants to get an insight into the creative process of one of the heaviest bands of all time.
