Metallica, Master Of Puppets, Remastered, Heavy Metal , CD

Before Metallica joined the trend of Biker Metal that took off in the 90s they recorded this album with Cliff Burton as it was tragically his last album prior to the accident in Dorarp, Sweden when he died. He was hence replaced by Kirk Hammett prior to their Black Album but these were considered the last days of their more Thrash style as their first album was ultimately Speed Metal oriented which wouldn't be the main thing until the 00s or Naughts as some like to call them. They went warlord on conventionalism and authoritarianism in this album hence its title 'Master of Puppets' but also likely pointing out the issues of tribalism which leads to gatekeeping which in those early days even the metal scene did, they hoped if any other fandoms happened they wouldn't follow this unnerving trend. I would say this was in spirit of the greatest era of Metallica which they reclaimed by Death Magnetic and ...Hardwired To Self Destruct and most importantly going independent.
