Metallica Background

Metallica first formed in 1981 and had many group members come and go. The current band members are James Hetfield (guitarist and vocalist), Lars Ulrich (drummer), Kirk Hammett (guitarist), and Robert Trujillo (bassist). Other memorable group members are Cliff Burton, Dave Mustaine and Jason Newstead.

Metallica started off with producing underground music hits and built a loyal fanbase right from the start. Their album, Master of Puppets, released in 1986 was their breakthrough moment, as it was described as one of the heaviest albums in the rock world. Their fifth album, Metallica, was the one that grabbed the attention of mainstream media and got the rest of the world hooked on their once very niche music. The band was even inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.
