Metallica - The Early Years And The Rise Of Metal by Neil Daniels. This is the first and only book to look at the massive impact of Metallica’s first four albums on the international metal scene. This book shows the birth and rise of the monster known as Metallica and will link the band – and the American metal scene – with the famed "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" movement in the UK and metal originators such as Black Sabbath and Judas Priest.

Metallica's early success was built on strong live performances and fierce thrash metal riffs. The group would eventually become the biggest American metal band in the world and the legacy of those first four albums – Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets plus ...And Justice For All – lives on to this day.
