Metallica turned the metal world on its ear with their debut album, 'Kill 'em All' and then blew its mind with the follow-up, 'Ride the Lightning'. The riffs and arrangements are moreintricate, the lyrics are more intelligent and biting and James Hetfield's growl is meaner. The set starts out with two tunes that would have been right at home on 'Kill 'em All', but the next two are slower and more involved. 'Ride the lightning' is a slow (by Metallica's standards) dirge about the futility of war. 'Fade to Black' is a ballad that builds to an instrumental coda featuring the guitar melodies that the band would later base their sound around. It's also Hetfield's first attempt at singing in tune. The most ambitious song is a dense instrumental, 'The Call of Ktulu', that starts with a single arpeggiated guitar and slowly adds layer upon layer, building in intensity until it all comes crashing down nine minutes later.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1759\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1689\"\u003ePressing Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1689\" data-end=\"1692\"\u003e• 180g black vinyl\u003cbr data-start=\"1710\" data-end=\"1713\"\u003e• Remastered audio\u003cbr data-start=\"1731\" data-end=\"1734\"\u003e• Includes lyric insert\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1761\" data-end=\"1919\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1761\" data-end=\"1775\"\u003eTechnical:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1775\" data-end=\"1778\"\u003eFormat: Vinyl LP\u003cbr data-start=\"1794\" data-end=\"1797\"\u003eLabel: Vertigo\u003cbr data-start=\"1811\" data-end=\"1814\"\u003eCatalogue Number: 0602547321164\u003cbr data-start=\"1845\" data-end=\"1848\"\u003eRelease Year: 1984\u003cbr data-start=\"1866\" data-end=\"1869\"\u003eReissue Year: 2016\u003cbr data-start=\"1887\" data-end=\"1890\"\u003eGenre: Thrash Metal \/ Metal\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322944172409,"sku":null,"price":21.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/metallica-ride-the-lightning-south-records-ltd_5e737731-a9da-4678-9f5f-a966f885b3a2.jpg?v=1787904178","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/metallica-ride-the-lightning","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
