Metallica - Load

NEW VINYL LP ON BLACKENED RECORDINGS 2015

2 X 180 GRAM VINYL.

Released five years after Metallica’s famous “Black” album, Load remains proof that the legendary Bay Area band was capable of much more than thrash signatures and charged metal. Coming at a time when hard rock was in the process of reorganizing, the 1996 set led the way and announced to the world that Metallica wasn’t content to rest on its laurels. By slowing down the tempos, decreasing the aggression, and upping the depth of its grooves, the quartet channels its English and Southern rock influences in spectacular fashion. Load mines the shorter, blues-oriented approaches pioneered by Led Zeppelin, Cream, Lynryd Skynyrd, and Deep Purple, expanding on these classic parameters by retaining some of the ferocious bite Metallica injected into its formative early works. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallica
