March 3, 2016, marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Metallica’s triumphant breakthrough MASTER OF PUPPETS. Already solidified as a metal force via their first two independent albums, Metallica crashed through the commercial ceiling on its major label debut, upending the image-heavy MTV video bands and carving out a place in the mainstream for the thrash metal resistance. Join us for a track-by-track breakdown of Master at 30, including Metallica studio and live tracks, plus tributes by Mastodon, Tankard, Primus, Parthian Shot, Ensiferum, and others. Know your Roots!

For the view from the frontlines of Metallica’s first few years, check out MURDER IN THE FRONT ROW: Shots From the Bay Area Thrash Metal Epicenter, by Harald Oimoen and Brian Lew.
