There's so much to tell about those early days of Metallica! This episode really is a "toe in the water" compared to all there is to cover about this amazing band, but their debut set a tone, changed a ton, and became a Metal Classic! Markus and Ray dig into the tunes, the tones, and the surrounding history at the time of the album. They also discuss Jon and Marsha Zazula, Megaforce co-founders, who were also one of the greatest couples in Metal music! Listen to our episode with Jonny, for background, and the full story of Metallica, and Megaforce Records!!! In this episode, we featured some work from Ben Eller, namely his "take" on Kill 'Em All in major keys and chords!
