Metallica didn't merely pioneer heavy metal; they evolved alongside it. Founded in 1981 by Lars Ulrich in Orange County, California, through a classified ad referencing Iron Maiden and Diamond Head, the band's 1983 debut, "Kill 'Em All," established the thrash metal genre by merging punk with British metal. Relocating to the Bay Area to recruit bassist Cliff Burton, the lineup of Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, and Burton transformed metal into an art form. They delved into intricate, serious compositions exploring topics from war horrors to political corruption. Despite lineup changes and diverse musical ventures, from Southern rock to orchestral renditions, Metallica's journey mirrors the evolution of metal itself.
