Metallica - Master Of Puppets -1986- -flac- 88 < Extended >
Following the success of their second album "Ride the Lightning" (1984), Metallica began writing new material for their next album. The band members, James Hetfield (vocals, rhythm guitar), Kirk Hammett (lead guitar), Cliff Burton (bass), and Lars Ulrich (drums), were all on the same page creatively, and the album's writing process was remarkably smooth. The band worked with producer Flemming Rasmussen, who had also produced "Ride the Lightning," to craft an album that would push the boundaries of heavy metal.
