Review
Buckle up, speed demons! Metallica's "Garage Inc." is a high-octane thrill ride through the band's musical influences, and it's about to take you on a wild spin! This double-disc adrenaline rush is packed with covers that'll make your heart race faster than a nitro-fueled dragster.
On the first disc, Metallica cranks up the intensity with fresh recordings that'll leave you breathless. They transform tracks from bands like Discharge and Black Sabbath into metal monsters that roar louder than a superbike engine. The standout? Their turbo-charged version of Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" that'll have you air-guitaring like you're shredding a half-pipe.
The second disc is a time-warping collection of earlier covers that'll send you cartwheeling through Metallica's history. From their "Garage Days Re-Revisited '87" EP to B-sides that'll flip your world upside-down, it's a gravity-defying display of musical mastery. On the Kendra Adrenaline Scale, I'm giving "Garage Inc." a solid 9 out of 10 extreme-o-meters. It's the perfect soundtrack for your next base jumping adventure or when you're charging down a mountain on your snowboard! - Kendra
Artist Bio
Metallica is a legendary heavy metal band originally formed in Los Angeles in 1981, before settling in San Francisco. Starting out with their debut demo in 1982, they quickly became known for merging punk energy with the riffs of British heavy metal, releasing landmark albums like *Kill 'Em All*, *Master of Puppets*, and their mainstream breakthrough, *The Black Album*. Over the decades, their lineup has evolved—most notably with the tragic loss of bassist Cliff Burton—but James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich have remained at the core. The band’s stylistic changes and high-profile collaborations, such as their project with Lou Reed, have kept them in the spotlight, earning multiple Grammy Awards and worldwide album sales in the millions. Fans of Slayer, Megadeth, or Pantera will find Metallica’s sound both influential and essential to defining thrash and modern metal.
