Metallica has sold more than 90 million records worldwide, including 57 million albums sold in the United States alone. Kill 'Em All In late spring 1983, the band travelled to Rochester, New York to record their first album,"Metal Up Your Ass." However, due to conflict with the record label about the title, the album was called Kill 'Em All. The album was not an initial financial success, but it earned them a growing fanbase in the underground metal scene. Despite the animosity, Dave Mustaine, who would go on to fame with his band Megadeth, still has co-writing credits on "Jump in the Fire", "Phantom Lord", "Metal Militia" and the notable "The Four Horsemen" (originally titled "The Mechanix" and listed as such on early demo tapes). Another early favorite was "Seek & Destroy." The 1989 re-release included fan favorites "Am I Evil?", from Diamond Head, and "Blitzkrieg" from the band Blitzkrieg, which were later included in their Garage album. Ride the Lightning A year later, Metallica released Ride the Lightning. The album's inclusion of a slower, more introspective song, "Fade to Black", set Metallica apart from other thrash bands. Despite some claims of selling out, classic fans note this album has many worthy numbers. In addition to the title track and "Fade to Black", it boasts "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Creeping Death", and the 9-minute instrumental "The Call of Ktulu." Dave Mustaine still has credits recognized for "Ride the Lightning" and "The Call of Ktulu". Master of Puppets When Ride the Lightning caught the attention of major labels, Metallica signed with Elektra Records. Their first release with Elektra was 1986's Master of Puppets, which would serve as their breakthrough album. Despite the fact that no singles were released from the album, the band received minor airplay from album tracks "Master of Puppets" and "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)". Fans looking for an alternative to hair metal bands of the day relished in furious songs such as "Battery" and "Damage, Inc.". The band gained even more exposure when they were asked to open for Ozzy Osbourne, and Master of Puppets climbed to number 29 on the Billboard Top Album Charts. Some critics consider the album to be one of the "greatest heavy metal albums of all time". Tragedy strikes Metallica On September 27, 1986, during the European leg of their Damage Inc. tour, Cliff Burton died near Ljungby, Sweden when Metallica's tour bus skidded off an allegedly icy road and went onto its right side.[8][9] Burton's death left the band's future in doubt. The three remaining members decided that the bassist would want them to carry on, and with the Burton family's blessings, the band sought a replacement.
