ep. 014 -- an analysis of Master of Puppets (1986) by Metallica In 1986, Metallica brings heavy metal into the mainstream with their release of Master of Puppets. M.D. and Kyle discuss how the album sits in relation to other 80s metal bands (Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer) and the ways in which the album best encapsulates the band's themes and musicality. James Hetfield's voice, Kirk Hammett's guitar techniques, Lars Ulrich's business-saavy and Cliff Burton's classical influence (and unfortunate death) color the conversation around many of Metallica's classic songs "Master of Puppets", "Battery" and "The Thing That Should Not Be". They would go on to become one of the biggest bands in the world.
