context_page_description: Metallica is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1981. The band released its debut album Kill 'Em All in 1983, which credited songwriting between frontman James Hetfield, drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist Dave Mustaine, who had left before the album was recorded. On the 1984 follow-up Ride the Lightning, Burton received more songwriting credits and Mustaine's replacement Kirk Hammett was also co-credited on four songs. Master of Puppets, released in 1986, was the last album to feature Burton, who died in a bus accident later that year.
  After bringing in Jason Newsted to replace Burton, Metallica released the extended play The $5.98 E.P. - Garage Days Re-Revisited in 1987, which featured cover versions of songs by Diamond Head, Holocaust, Killing Joke, Budgie and Misfits. The band's first studio album with Newsted, ...And Justice for All, was released the following year; the bassist was credited on one song only, opener "Blackened". In 1991 the self-titled Metallica was released, which is considered to be the band's mainstream breakthrough album. Load and Reload followed in 1996 and 1997, respectively.
