Metallica – Ride The Lightning

The album that took Metallica from underground heroes to metal legends.
Ride the Lightning expanded thrash metal’s boundaries with sharper songwriting, darker themes and epic ambition. From the breakneck speed of “Fight Fire with Fire” to the towering riffs of “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” the haunting title track and the sprawling “Fade to Black,” this record shows a band evolving at full force. On vinyl, the raw energy, dynamic shifts and crushing tone hit with maximum impact — an essential cornerstone of any metal collection.
