- Metallica és un grup de música d'Estats Units d'Amèrica actiu des de principis dels anys 80. Va ser creat al 1981 a Los Angeles pel danès Lars Ulrich i James Hetfield, als quals se'ls unirien Lloyd Grant i Ron McGovney. Aquests dos músics van ser després substituïts pel guitarrista Dave Mustaine i el baixista Cliff Burton, respectivament. Mustaine va ser acomiadat un any després d'ingressar en el grup a causa de la seva excessiva addicció a les drogues i a l'alcohol, i va crear el grup Megadeth, sent substituït a Metallica per Kirk Hammett. Per una altra part, al 1986, la mort de Cliff Burton en un accident d'autobús a Suècia va provocar l'entrada al grup de Jason Newsted, que, quinze anys més tard, seria substituït després de la seva deserció pel baixista actual del grup, Robert Trujillo. Després de participar en el desenvolupament del thrash metal durant els anys 80, el grup va ampliar la seva audiència a principis dels anys 90 per incloure molts seguidors nous. Conseqüentment, el grup va esdevenir l'exemple comercial més visible del gènere del metal durant la major part de la dècada. Tanmateix, l'èxit comercial de Metallica va anar acompanyat de canvis estilístics que van portar a crítiques per part dels seguidors més antics. Al 2003 Metallica va treure el disc St. Anger, una col·lecció de les cançons més agressives que havien escrit durant una dècada, que va venir acompanyat de crítiques profundament dividides i unes xifres de venda mediocres. No obstant això, una gira extensa i satisfactòria durant els anys 2003 i 2004 va reforçar la reputació del grup com un dels més importants. Juntament amb Megadeth, Anthrax i Slayer, Metallica és considerat com un dels "Quatre Grans" del thrash metal.
- Metallica je americká thrash-metalová skupina založená roku 1981 v Los Angeles. Pro první alba Metallicy jsou typická rychlejší tempa skladeb, agresivní a ve svém stylu i hudebně náročnější kompozice. Tato skutečnost je zařadila společně se skupinami Megadeth, Slayer a Anthrax do „Velké čtyřky“ thrash metalu. Skupina se dala dohromady na základě inzerátu v losangeleských novinách, který podal bubeník Lars Ulrich. Ve skupině hraje sólový kytarista Kirk Hammett (který se přidal ke skupině v roce 1983), basový kytarista Robert Trujillo (členem od roku 2003) spolu se zakládajícím bubeníkem Larsem Ulrichem a pak zpěvákem a doprovodným kytaristou Jamesem Hetfieldem. Předchozí členové skupiny byli sólový kytarista Dave Mustaine (který odešel a založil skupinu Megadeth) a basisté Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton a Jason Newsted. Skupina také dlouho spolupracovala s producentem Bobem Rockem, který produkoval všechna alba od roku 1990 do roku 2003 a pomáhal také jako dočasný baskytarista po odchodu Jasona Newsteda do příchodu Trujilla. Kapela si dokázala postupně získávat stále větší a větší množství fanoušků v undergroundu, a také přízeň kritiky. Někteří kritici považují album Master of Puppets z roku 1986 za jedno z nejvýznamnějších metalových alb. Skupina dosáhla výrazný komerční úspěch s pátým albem Metallica (známým také jako Black Album), vydaném roku 1991, které debutovalo na 1. místě žebříčku Billboard 200. Tímto albem se kapela počala ubírat směrem ke střednímu proudu. V roce 2000 Metallica, spolu s několika dalšími umělci, zažalovala společnost Napster za sdílení materiálu chráněného autorskými právy bez souhlasu členů kapely. Spor se skončil dohodou a z Napsteru se stala placená služba. Album St. Anger, vydané v roce 2003, navzdory debutu na 1. místě žebříčku Billboard 200, zklamalo některé fanoušky, kterým chyběla kytarová sóla a „plechové“ bicí. Dokument s názvem Some Kind of Monster přiblížil fanouškům proces nahrávání alba. Metallica doposud vydala devět studiových alb, čtyři živé alba, šest EP, dvacetpět videoklipů a šestačtyřicet singlů. Skupina vyhrála devět cen Grammy a jako jediné kapele v historii se jí podařilo bodovat v albovém žebříčku Billboard 200 na prvním místě s pěti po sobě následujícími alby. Album Metallica (1991), s kterého se v USA prodalo více než 15 miliónů kopií (22 mil. celosvětově), je 25. nejprodávanějším albem v USA. V období, kdy vyšlo jejich poslední album Death Magnetic (2008) se celkový počet prodaných nahrávek odhadoval na více než 100 miliónů. K září 2008 byla Metallica pátým nejlépe se prodávajícím hudebným interpretem, od 25. května 1991, kdy začal informační systém SoundScan sledovat prodejnost nahrávek. Za sledované období prodala Metallica jenom v Spojených státech 50 111 000 alb. Od roku 2011 skupina pracuje na novém albu. 31. října 2011 skupina vydala nové album společně s kytaristou Lou Reedem, které se jmenuje Lulu.
- Metallica ist eine US-amerikanische Metal-Band, die 1981 in Los Angeles gegründet wurde. Die Band gehört zu den erfolgreichsten Rockbands der Welt und hat bislang über 100 Millionen Alben verkauft. Allein in den USA verkaufte die Band über 57 Millionen Alben und ist damit die siebterfolgreichste Künstlergruppe des Landes. Metallica wurde insgesamt neun Mal mit einem Grammy Award ausgezeichnet. Neben Slayer, Megadeth und Anthrax zählte Metallica in den 1980ern zu den „großen Vier“ des Thrash Metals und gilt als die einflussreichste Heavy-Metal-Band dieses Jahrzehnts. Während der 1990er-Jahre öffnete sich Metallica neuen musikalischen Einflüssen wie Bluesrock und anderen Rockstilen, wodurch sie einen die breite Masse ansprechenden Sound fand, bevor die Band später zu ihren musikalischen Wurzeln zurückkehrte. Am 12. September 2008 erschien ihr neuntes Studioalbum Death Magnetic.
- Metallica Listen/məˈtælɨkə/ is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California whose releases include fast tempos, instrumentals, and aggressive musicianship that placed them as one of the founding "big four" of thrash metal alongside Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax. They formed in 1981 when James Hetfield responded to an advertisement that drummer Lars Ulrich had posted in a local newspaper. As of 2003, the line-up features long-time lead guitarist Kirk Hammett (who joined the band in 1983) and bassist Robert Trujillo (a member since 2003) alongside Hetfield and Ulrich. Previous members of the band are lead guitarist Dave Mustaine (who went on to found the band Megadeth), and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton and Jason Newsted. The band also had a long collaboration with producer Bob Rock, who produced all of its albums from 1990 to 2003 and served as a temporary bassist between the departure of Newsted and the hiring of Trujillo. The band earned a growing fan-base in the underground music community and critical acclaim with its third album Master of Puppets (1986), described as one of the most influential and "heavy" thrash metal albums. Metallica achieved substantial commercial success with their eponymous fifth album (also known as The Black Album), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. With this release the band expanded its musical direction resulting in an album that appealed to a more mainstream audience. In 2000, Metallica was among a number of artists who filed a lawsuit against Napster for sharing the band's copyright-protected material for free without any band member's consent. A settlement was reached, and Napster became a pay-to-use service. Despite reaching number one on the Billboard 200, the release of St. Anger (2003) alienated many fans with the exclusion of guitar solos and the "steel-sounding" snare drum. A film titled Some Kind of Monster documented the recording process of St. Anger and the tensions within the band during that time. In 2009, Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Metallica has released nine studio albums, three live albums, five extended plays, 24 music videos, and 45 singles. The band has won nine Grammy Awards, and has had five consecutive albums debut at number one on the Billboard 200, making Metallica the first band to do so; this record was later matched by the Dave Matthews Band. The band's 1991 album, Metallica, has sold over 15 million copies in the United States, and 28 million copies worldwide, which makes it the 25th-best-selling album in the country. In December 2009, it became the best-selling album of the SoundScan era, surpassing 1997's Come on Over by country artist Shania Twain. The band has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide as of the release of their latest album, Death Magnetic (2008). As of December 2009, Metallica is the fourth best-selling music artist since the SoundScan era began tracking sales on May 25, 1991, selling a total of 52,672,000 albums in the United States alone. As of 2011, Metallica is working on a new album.
- Metallica es una banda de Thrash Metal originaria de Los Angeles. Fue fundada en 1981 en Los Angeles por el Danes Lars Ulrich y James Hetfield, a los que se les unirían Hugh Tanner y Ron McGovney. Estos dos músicos fueron después sustituidos por el guitarrista Dave Mustaine y el bajista Cliff Burton, respectivamente. Mustaine fue despedido un año después de ingresar en la banda debido a su excesiva adicción al alcohol y su actitud violenta, y fundó la banda Megadeth, siendo sustituido por Kirk Hammett. Por otra parte, en 1986, la muerte de Cliff Burton en un accidente de autobús en Suecia provocó la entrada al grupo de Jason Newsted, que, quince años más tarde, sería sustituido tras su deserción por el bajista actual, Robert Trujillo. A la fecha, la banda ha editado nueve discos de estudio. Las ventas totales de Metallica superan los 100 millones, y se les considera parte de los Cuatro Grandes del thrash metal, junto con Anthrax, Slayer y Megadeth. Además, el grupo ha conseguido numerosos premios musicales, entre los que destacan nueve Grammys, dos premios otorgados por la cadena musical MTV, dos galardones de la Academia de Música Americana y un premio de la revista Billboard, además de poseer una estrella en el Paseo de la Fama de la revista Kerrang!.
- Metallica on yhdysvaltalainen yhtye, jonka tyyli on vaihdellut thrash metalista lähes valtavirran rockiin asti. Yhtyeen perustivat James Hetfield ja Lars Ulrich 28. lokakuuta 1981. Nykyiseen kokoonpanoon kuuluvat lisäksi soolokitaristi Kirk Hammett sekä basisti Robert Trujillo. Metallica on julkaissut yksitoista studioalbumia, kaksi livealbumia, kolme EP:tä ja yhdeksän virallista videojulkaisua. Kymmenes studioalbumi, jonka nimeksi on annettu Death Magnetic, julkaistiin 12. syyskuuta 2008. Yhtyeen sävellystyöstä vastaavat pääasiassa kitaristi-laulaja Hetfield ja rumpali Ulrich. Metallica-kappaleiden sanoituksista vastaa lähes yksinomaan Hetfield. Nykyään kuitenkin James on antanut muidenkin osallistua sanojen kirjoittamiseen, joka nähdään muun muassa dokumentissa Some Kind of Monster, kun kaikki istuvat yhdessä kirjoittamassa lyriikoita kappaleisiin. Yhdysvalloissa yhtye on myynyt 59 miljoonaa albumia. Metallica on voittanut yhdeksän Grammy-palkintoa ja on albumimyynnin perusteella AC/DC:n, Van Halenin, Led Zeppelinin ja Aerosmithin ohella yksi menestyneimmistä raskaan musiikin yhtyeistä Yhdysvalloissa. Metallica nimettiin Rock and Roll Hall of Fameen keväällä 2009.

En 2005 dans le magazine Forbes, Metallica est classé 23 parmi les cent célébrités les plus importantes toutes catégories confondues (show-bizz, sport, littérature). Dans l'industrie musicale, il est à la 4 place, après Madonna, Elton John et Puff Daddy.
- A Metallica egy amerikai heavy metal együttes, amely 1981-ben alakult Los Angeles-ben. Az utóbbi évtizedek egyik legsikeresebb együttese, az 1980-as és az 1990-es évek meghatározó zenekara. A dán származású Lars Ulrich alapította. Az első stabil felállás 1983-ra alakult ki Lars Ulrich dobos, James Hetfield énekes/gitáros, Cliff Burton basszusgitáros és Kirk Hammett gitáros személyében. Az 1983-ban megjelent Kill ’Em All című első albumuk újszerű, agresszív stílusával lefektették a thrash metal alapjait. Az 1984-ben, illetve 1986-ban megjelent Ride the Lightning és Master of Puppets albumaikkal lassabb, epikus hangvételű, összetettebb dalokkal bővítették zenéjük határait. Az egyre népszerűbb zenekar 1986-os turnéján Cliff Burton közlekedési baleset során életét veszítette. A helyére került Jason Newsteddel felvett …And Justice for All tovább növelte népszerűségüket, mely révén a „thrash metal nagy négyese” közül a legismertebbek lettek. A mainstream áttörést az 1991-ben megjelent Metallica (Black Album) hozta el számukra, melyen a korábbiakhoz képest rövidebb, slágeresebb dalok foglaltak helyet. A 15-szörös platinalemez máig a legsikeresebb albumuk, amely 2009. decemberében a legkelendőbb album volt a Nielsen SoundScan adatai szerint. Kisebb szünet után 1996-ban, illetve 1997-ben tértek vissza a Load és a ReLoad albumokkal, melyek alternatív hangvétele megosztotta a rajongótábort. Ezt követően egyre jobban kiéleződtek a személyi ellentétek, mely következtében Jason Newsted 2001-ben elhagyta a zenekart. A feloszlás küszöbén álló együttes a St. Anger albummal tért vissza 2003-ban, amely óriási vitákat váltott ki a rajongók és a kritikusok részéről egyaránt. Az ekkori problémákat szemléltette a Some Kind of Monster dokumentumfilm, melyet 2004-ben mutattak be a mozikban. A Robert Trujillo basszusgitárossal kiegészült együttes következő, eddigi utolsó nagylemeze Death Magnetic címmel jelent meg 2008-ban. Világszerte több mint 200 millió albumot adtak el, ebből több mint 57 milliót az Amerikai Egyesült Államokban. Pályafutásuk során eddig kilencszer nyertek Grammy-díjat, és a VH1 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock listáján az ötödik helyre kerültek. Magyarországon eddig ötször koncerteztek: 1988-ban, 1991-ben, 1993-ban, 1999-ben és 2010-ben.
- I Metallica sono un gruppo speed/thrash metal statunitense, formatosi a Los Angeles nel 1981. I loro primi lavori, grazie alla velocità dei pezzi, tecnicismi strumentali ed aggressività, li hanno portati ad entrare nei "Big Four" del thrash metal, accanto a Slayer, Megadeth ed Anthrax. La band si guadagnò in poco tempo un crescente seguito di fan e, con la pubblicazione di Master of Puppets nel 1986, raggiunse secondo molti l'apice della carriera. Il successo commerciale arrivò nel 1991 con l'album omonimo, che esordì alla prima posizione della classifica Billboard 200. Con questo lavoro la band ampliò molto la sua direzione musicale, rivolgendosi non più ai soli fan del thrash e, grazie a sonorità più semplici ed orecchiabili, divennero una delle maggiori realtà musicali del periodo. Nel 2000 presentarono una causa contro Napster per la condivisione gratuita di materiale protetto da copyright prodotto dalla band senza il loro consenso. In carriera il gruppo vinse nove Grammy Awards ed ebbe cinque album consecutivi che esordirono al primo posto nella Billboard 200. L'album Metallica, inoltre, vendette oltre 15 milioni di copie negli Stati Uniti, e più di 22 milioni di copie nel resto del mondo. Con più di 100 milioni di dischi venduti, di cui 60 milioni nei soli Stati Uniti, la band è annoverata come una delle formazioni di maggior successo nella storia dell'heavy metal e del rock contemporaneo.

- Metallica is een van de succesvolste metalbands uit de Verenigde Staten. Metallica bestaat uit vier leden en werd opgericht begin jaren 80 van de 20e eeuw in Los Angeles door de Deen Lars Ulrich en de Amerikaan James Hetfield. De band heeft sinds zijn ontstaan meer dan 100 miljoen exemplaren van zijn albums verkocht, waarvan het laatste in 2011 uitkwam onder de naam "Lulu" in samenwerking met Lou Reed.
- Metallica er et Grammy-belønnet amerikansk heavy/thrash metal-band som ble stiftet i Los Angeles i USA 28. oktober 1981. Siden 1991, og den til da største salgssuksessen Metallica (The Black Album), har det kommersielt sett vært et av de mest suksessfulle bandene i heavy metal-historien. Med 57 millioner solgte album i USA og tilnærmet det samme i resten av verden, er det totale antallet solgte album rundt 100 millioner (2007) . Metallica plasseres per 2011 som nummer 7 på listen over mestselgende artister i amerikansk historie. Bandet ble rangert som nummer fem på VH1s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. I 2009 ble Metallica innvotert i Rockens æresgalleri. Etter å ha bygget opp en lojal fanbase gjennom sin rolle i utviklingen av thrash metal på 1980-tallet, fikk de et merkbart bredere publikum tidlig på 1990-tallet da de begynte å spille en moderne form for heavy metal. Som en kontrast, kom Metallicas kommersielle suksess i kjølvannet av en stilforandring som fikk mange til å beskylde dem for å «selge ut». Til tross for at de siste albumene har solgt meget godt, mente deler av fanbasen at Metallica hadde distansert seg for langt fra sine thrash metal-røtter. I tillegg ble Metallicas syn på og sentrale deltakelse i saken mot fildelingsprogrammet Napster i 2001/2002 for kontroversiell for mange fans. I 2003 ble det åttende studioalbumet, St. Anger, utgitt. Det var en samling av de mest aggressive låtene og musikken som de hadde skrevet på lenge. Albumet splittet kritikere og fikk ikke fullt så gode salgstall sammenliknet med tidligere album. Derimot, på grunn av Metallicas suksess som startet på 80-tallet, var det meste av den påfølgende «Madly in Anger with the World»-turneen utsolgt. 12. september 2008 ble det niende studio albumet deres, Death Magnetic, utgitt i hele verden. En påfølgende turné skal starte 21. oktober i USA. Mange fans og kritikere har klaget på at miksingen på albumet er altfor høy og at det er et resultat av the loudness war. Til tross for disse påstandene gikk albumet til topps i mange land, inkludert USA, hvor det solgte ca 500 000 kopier, selv om det ble sluppet på en fredag, istedenfor mandag som er vanlig.
- Metallica – amerykański zespół heavymetalowy założony w Los Angeles w 1981 roku przez Jamesa Hetfielda i Larsa Ulricha. Uważany za jeden z najważniejszych i najbardziej wpływowych zespołów metalowych lat 80. Po wydaniu w 1983 r. debiutanckiego albumu Kill 'Em All grupa została uznana za twórcę nowego stylu muzyki metalowej – thrash metalu. Zarazem wydany w 1986 r. trzeci album, Master of Puppets, jest określany przez niektórych krytyków jako najlepszy album heavymetalowy wszech czasów. Jest to również ostatni album zespołu nagrany z basistą Cliffem Burtonem, który zginął 27 września 1986 r. w wypadku autokarowym. Chociaż pozostali członkowie zespołu rozważali rozwiązanie grupy, to ostatecznie postanowili kontynuować działalność i na następcę Burtona został wybrany Jason Newsted. Album Metallica (nazywany też Czarnym Albumem) został wydany w 1991 r. i do dziś pozostaje najpopularniejszym wydawnictwem zespołu zdobywając m. in. status diamentowej płyty w USA za sprzedanie płyty w nakładzie ponad 22 milionów egzemplarzy. W 1999 roku Metallica zagrała wspólny koncert z Orkiestrą Symfoniczną z San Francisco dyrygowaną przez Michaela Kamena, który został podsumowany wydaniem albumu i filmu o nazwie S&M. W styczniu 2001 r. basista Jason Newsted opuścił grupę. W kwietniu tego samego roku zespół rozpoczął nagrania do kolejnego albumu studyjnego, ale przerwał je w lipcu, gdy James Hetfield udał się do kliniki odwykowej, w której przebywał do grudnia. Pracę nad albumem wznowiono dopiero w maju 2002 r. , co wreszcie w roku 2003 zaowocowało wydaniem albumu St. Anger. Wszystkie partie gitary basowej zostały nagrane przez producenta albumu Boba Rocka, ale jeszcze na kilka miesięcy przed wydaniem płyty nowym basistą Metalliki został Robert Trujillo. 12 września 2008 został wydany nowy album studyjny zespołu, Death Magnetic. Metallica sprzedała na całym świecie ponad 100 milionów egzemplarzy albumów, z czego ponad 57 milionów egzemplarzy sprzedano w samych Stanach Zjednoczonych. Zespół został sklasyfikowany na 3. pozycji listy zestawiającej Najlepsze Zespoły Metalowe Wszech Czasów sporządzonej przez MTV oraz na 5. pozycji listy zestawiającej 100 Najlepszych Artystów Hard Rocka sporządzonej przez VH1. W 2009 roku Metallica została wprowadzona do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
- Metallica é uma banda norte-americana de metal formada na cidade de Los Angeles, Califórnia. Os seus lançamentos incluem tempos rápidos, instrumentais, e musicalidade agressiva, a qual os colocou no lugar de uma das bandas fundadoras dos "Big Four" do thrash metal, conjuntamente com Slayer, Megadeth e Anthrax. A banda foi formada em 1981, após James Hetfield responder a um anúncio que o baterista Lars Ulrich colocou no jornal local. Em 2003, a formação passou a consistir no guitarrista principal Kirk Hammett (que se juntou à banda em 1983), e no baixista Robert Trujillo (membro desde 2003), bem como Hetfield e Ulrich. Antes de chegar à sua formação actual, a banda teve vários membros: guitarrista principal Dave Mustaine (que mais tarde fundou os Megadeth), e baixistas Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton e Jason Newsted. A banda ganhou uma crescente base de fãs na comunidade de música underground, e alguns críticos dizem que o lançamento de 1986 Master of Puppets é um dos álbuns de thrash metal mais influentes e "pesados". A banda alcançou um substancial sucesso comercial com o seu álbum auto-intitulado de 1991, que estreou em primeiro lugar na Billboard 200. Alguns críticos e fãs acreditavam que o estilo musical da banda mudou de sentido apelando para o público mainstream. Com o lançamento de Load em 1996, Metallica distanciou-se de seus lançamentos anteriores, sendo descrito como "uma abordagem quase rock alternativo", e a banda enfrentou acusações de "tornar-se comercial". Em 2000 o Metallica esteve entre os vários artistas que apresentaram uma ação judicial contra o Napster por compartilhar materiais protegidos por direitos de autor livremente sem o consentimento dos membros da banda. A resolução foi tomada, e Napster se tornou um serviço de uso pago. Apesar de atingir o primeiro lugar na Billboard 200, o lançamento de St. Anger em 2003 desapontou alguns críticos e fãs com a exclusão de solos de guitarra, bem como o "aço-auscultação" da caixa. Um filme intitulado Some Kind of Monster foi lançado em 2004, documentando o processo de gravação de St. Anger. A banda já lançou nove álbuns de estúdio, quatro álbuns ao vivo, seis extended plays, uma coletânea, vinte e quatro videoclipes, quarenta e cinco singles, um álbum colaborativo e finalizou o trabalho em seu nono álbum de estúdio, Death Magnetic. Tornou-se um dos mais influentes grupos de heavy metal, e a mais bem banda de metal de todos os tempos, com mais de 140 milhões de registros vendidos em todo o mundo, incluindo 69 milhões nos Estados Unidos. carece de fontes?]</sup> A banda já ganhou nove Grammy Awards, entrou para o Rock and Roll Hall of Fame e teve cinco álbuns em primeiro lugar na Billboard 200. O álbum Metallica, de 1991, já vendeu mais de 25 milhões de cópias mundialmente.

The band also had a long collaboration with producer Bob Rock, who produced all of its albums from 1990 to 2003 and served as a temporary bassist between the departure of Newsted and the hiring of Trujillo. The band earned a growing fan-base in the underground music community and critical acclaim with its third album Master of Puppets (1986), described as one of the most influential and "heavy" thrash metal albums. Metallica achieved substantial commercial success with their eponymous fifth album (also known as The Black Album), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. With this release the band expanded its musical direction resulting in an album that appealed to a more mainstream audience. In 2000, Metallica was among a number of artists who filed a lawsuit against Napster for sharing the band's copyright-protected material for free without any band member's consent. A settlement was reached, and Napster became a pay-to-use service. Despite reaching number one on the Billboard 200, the release of St. Anger (2003) alienated many fans with the exclusion of guitar solos and the "steel-sounding" snare drum. A film titled Some Kind of Monster documented the recording process of St. Anger and the tensions within the band during that time. In 2009, Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Metallica has released nine studio albums, three live albums, five extended plays, 24 music videos, and 45 singles. The band has won nine Grammy Awards, and has had five consecutive albums debut at number one on the Billboard 200, making Metallica the first band to do so; this record was later matched by the Dave Matthews Band. The band's 1991 album, Metallica, has sold over 15 million copies in the United States, and 28 million copies worldwide, which makes it the 25th-best-selling album in the country. In December 2009, it became the best-selling album of the SoundScan era, surpassing 1997's Come on Over by country artist Shania Twain. The band has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide as of the release of their latest album, Death Magnetic (2008). As of December 2009, Metallica is the fourth best-selling music artist since the SoundScan era began tracking sales on May 25, 1991, selling a total of 52,672,000 albums in the United States alone. Metallica has been working on their tenth studio album, which is due for release in early 2014.

The band also had a long collaboration with producer Bob Rock, who produced all of its albums from 1990 to 2003 and served as a temporary bassist between the departure of Newsted and the hiring of Trujillo. The band earned a growing fan-base in the underground music community and critical acclaim with its first four albums, with their third, Master of Puppets (1986), described as one of the most influential and "heavy" thrash metal albums. Metallica achieved substantial commercial success with their eponymous fifth album (also known as The Black Album), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. With this release the band expanded its musical direction resulting in an album that appealed to a more mainstream audience. In 2000, Metallica was among a number of artists who filed a lawsuit against Napster for sharing the band's copyright-protected material for free without any band member's consent. A settlement was reached, and Napster became a pay-to-use service. Despite reaching number one on the Billboard 200, the release of St. Anger (2003) alienated many fans with the exclusion of guitar solos and the "steel-sounding" snare drum. A film titled Some Kind of Monster documented the recording process of St. Anger and the tensions within the band during that time. In 2009, Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Metallica has released nine studio albums, four live albums, five extended plays, 25 music videos, and 37 singles. The band has won nine Grammy Awards, and has had five consecutive albums debut at number one on the Billboard 200, making Metallica the first band to do so; this record was later matched, and then surpassed, by the Dave Matthews Band. The band's 1991 album, Metallica, has sold over 15 million copies in the United States, and 28 million copies worldwide, which makes it the 25th-best-selling album in the country. In December 2009, it became the best-selling album of the SoundScan era, surpassing 1997's Come on Over by country artist Shania Twain. The band has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide as of 2010. As of December 2009, Metallica is the fourth best-selling music artist since the SoundScan era began tracking sales on May 25, 1991, selling a total of 52,672,000 albums in the United States alone. In 2012, Metallica formed the independent record label Blackened Recordings, and have acquired the rights to all of their studio albums.
