Experience the raw power and groundbreaking sound of Metallica with their iconic album "Ride The Lightning," now available on 180-gram vinyl. This digitally remastered edition of Metallica's second studio album, originally released in 1984, captures the band's explosive energy and innovative songwriting. Recorded over a three-week period at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark, with producer Flemming Rasmussen, "Ride The Lightning" features anthems like "Fade to Black," "For Whom the Bell Tolls," "Creeping Death," and the electrifying title track "Ride The Lightning."
Rooted in thrash metal, the album showcases Metallica’s growth in musical complexity, thanks to bassist Cliff Burton teaching the band music theory. The album goes beyond fast tempos, incorporating acoustic guitars, instrumentals, and harmonic depth. The title, inspired by a passage in Stephen King's novel "The Stand," highlights the band's literary influences. This 180-gram vinyl edition provides superior sound quality, making it a must-have for collectors and fans alike. Add "Ride The Lightning" to your vinyl collection and experience the relentless force and intensity of Metallica’s early masterpiece.
