Kill 'Em All" may have revitalized heavy metal's underground, but "Ride The Lightning" was even more stunning, exhibiting staggering musical growth and boldly charting new directions that would affect heavy metal for years to come. Incredibly ambitious for a one-year-later sophomore effort, "Ride The Lightning" finds METALLICA aggressively expanding their compositional technique and range of expression. Now available again on vinyl.
