![]() The sheer speed of riffs from “Whiplash” and “Motorbreath” are perfect fuel for the headbang. Fast, loud, heavy, and awesome, with blasting riffage and shredding solos, and it doesn’t cease until the album ends. Opener “Hit The Lights” serves as the perfect introduction to the album and gets everyone in the mood for the album. Right from the beginning, Metallica displays the fact that they are in control. *** the pansies, you bought this from the store, now grow some balls and put this *** on till the bass blows out and tell your neighbors to go finger themselves cuz this is Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All. The first time I saw it, actually tried finding another picture to use as the cover art on my iTouch so people wouldn’t look at me with a perplexed gaze and utter “.what kind of Satanist music are you listening too, dear boy?” But the cover perfectly gets the soon-to-be listener into the right mood, especially in 1983 heavy, balls-to-the-wall, fast as *** thrash metal with no repercussions or regrets. It must have been pretty brutal in 1983 amongst all the Motley Crue’s or Def Leopard’s or even Black Sabbath albums. I remember my mom hated the album cover a puddle of blood and the dark silhouette of a hand grasping a mallet, and that “vile” album name Kill ‘Em All. Just looking at this record makes it obvious that something new was about to begin. If this was the album that got an entire scene into thrash, how much more could it offer for a single impressionable child? ![]() What was it about the band that got me, TheSonomaDude, an at the time 5th grader in the heart of conservative Texas with little to no understanding of music or what makes it good, into the person in which music would later become the sphere I revolved around? Perhaps Metallica’s 1983 debut Kill ‘em All has the answer, as it is often debated to be the pinnacle birthplace of American thrash metal and the starter of the thrash scene that controlled the metal scene for some years. I could argue that Metallica, and maybe another band or two, singlehandedly got me into the genre of metal and perhaps all of music in general. Metallica is, without any second guessing, the most important band of my childhood. ![]()
