Metallica "Kill 'Em All"

As Hallow's Eve approaches us I thought I'd keep with the metal thing and post up some more face melting shit.

This album dropped when I was all of 3 years old. My older sister probably had it as she had all things metal. My first tape purchased was Guns N' Roses "Appetite For Destruction" mainly because of her influence over my tastes at the time.



This little gem was just a bonus image I found while searching for the album cover. Nice.


This is a pretty rad story about the original title and art work for what would become "Kill 'Em All."

Taken from Wikipedia:
The band initially planned to title the album Metal Up Your Ass, and it would boast a cover featuring a toilet bowl with a hand clutching a dagger emerging from it. However, Megaforce urged them to change it and they agreed, switching to Kill 'Em All. This time the cover featured the shadow of a hand letting go of a bloodied hammer. Cliff Burton is credited with coming up with the name Kill 'Em All (referring to timid record distributors) as a response to the whole situation.



This was the original title and cover that the band submitted.

I don't know my dick from my hand when it comes to death metal. I am out of my element as Walter Sobchak would put it.

To be technical they are considered a "melodic death metal" group.

So I will save the b.s for another day.

Here's what I like about this record.

- the cover
- the fact that the band's name translates to "Mt. Doom" a la J.R.R Tolkien's L.O.T.R
- they talk about viking stuff
- it wails ass

That is pretty much all I need.

Amazing. Spot on. Murderface almost looks suspect, but who really has hair like Murderface?

Brutal

I am 26 years old and I watch more cartoons then my son. Yup, I said it.

Right now I am viewing a steady diet of Metalocalypse. It melts posers' faces off.
