Metallica has had a profound impact on music, particularly in the metal genre, shaping its evolution and pushing its boundaries. Since their formation in 1981, the band has combined speed, aggression, and intricate musicianship, creating iconic albums like Master of Puppets and The Black Album. This month marks the anniversary of several best-selling albums that debuted in November like Hardwired...To Self-Destruct, S&M, Garage Inc., and Reload.
