Frightening, awe-inspiring, and absolutely relentless, Kill 'Em All is pure destructive power, executed with jaw-dropping levels of scientific precision.

James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Cliff Burton and Kirk Hammett might have looked like a group of vapid, lank-haired kids, but they would change the face of music forever with “Kill ‘Em All."

Kill 'Em All raised a middle finger in the air while sounding a trumpet of unity for metalheads everywhere with its us-against-the-world mentality.

Throughout, Metallica declare their endearingly cute metal intentions over undercooked, if enthusiastic, riff bonanzas.
This blows any metal debut out of the water. Metallica, right off the bat, knew what they wanted to be. Brute force and heavy. This album showcases some of the best metal songs on a debut album ever. One hell of a good time.

Now 10 years later, it doesn't sound as awesome as it used to and most of the replay value stands in nostalgia. But it's importance cannot be dismissed, it will forever be groundbreaking and avant-guard, sounding better than many many heavy and thrash metal albums that have been up to this very day.
