The album 'Kill 'em all' originally titled 'Metal up your ass' was the debut album of American thrash metal band known as Metallica.

The debut album from Metallica that made people worldwide listen to the epic sound of Metal. The art work shows malice intent, evil and bodily harm which is entirely appropriate as this music is usually looked down on but was created to kick ass! The simple colours used for the cover are brilliant of black, white and red as it keeps the image ...  Read the complete review

HIT THE LIGHTS!!!!!!!!! here is the massive, raw debut that started metallica on their epic rise to metal gods!

Metallica's début album Kill 'Em All was widely seen as a ground-breaking release when it first saw the light of day back in 1983. Recorded in two weeks on a shoestring budget, the band showcased an aggressive sound that took inspiration from traditional metal but approached it with the energy and urgency of punk rock. The resulting combination ...  Read the complete review

And at the year 1983, thrash metal was born. Yeah, I know of Slayer's Show no Mercy and the other bands but the first record to really display thrash metal as it would develop in the upcoming years was this unrelenting assault to our ears by this totally unknown then american band. This music is mostly comprised of furious fast power chords not ...  Read the complete review

Metallica’s musical progression has kept them in the spotlight throughout their twenty-year career as they explore all angles of rock music. Their latest release, St. Anger, is a very violent record with which the band intended to capture the hostility and aggression of their early albums, especially the debut ‘Kill ‘Em All.’ While it was ...  Read the complete review

1983 eh? How many of us remember these heady days of metal in its purest form? - METALLICA . Not me anyhow, I was only 6 at the time this album came out and was a lot more into cartoons and nursery rhymes than absolutely incredible albums like this one. My loss I suppose, but at least I came to my senses in the early 90s. The ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion this is Metallica's finest work. I'm going to use the strategy of my man padders to write this review, in which I will rate each of the songs and give it a final score. Hit the lights - An awesome song that very correctly introduces Metallica. The chorus is great, and the song is extremely fast. 5/5 ...  Read the complete review

We all know my opinion on this particular band, well, anyone who has read a couple of my reviews will do anyway!!!!! This is the album that symbolises Metallica, and the album that brought them to the plate so to speak. kill Em All is the very first album that Metallica released mainstream, and considering it got absolutely no airplay ...  Read the complete review

This album was Metallica?s first real album, it is very different from the Metallica we know now, much harsher and faster but still just as brilliant. For me this album is defiantly one of their best released to date. It has more a slayer style fast approach to the music and the lyrics and song names are much more that way also. If you ...  Read the complete review

Arguably the best debut album of all time, and the record that defined a whole genre of music, Kill ‘Em All is a must have for any metal fan. It’s simple, no Kill ‘Em All = no thrash! This is a storming record, in fact, the best start to a career any band could ever wish for! The solos on the likes of No Remorse and Seek ...  Read the complete review

Kill Em All, Metallicas first proper album, is all about one thing, to make a point to the other big bands of the time, that they're harder and faster than any one else. The best tracks are probably the Four Horsemen or Seek and destroy, which are still popular. This album is possibly one of the less popular of them, because people tend to ...  Read the complete review

Metallica Were... James Hetfield (vocals, guitar); Kirk Hammett (guitar); Cliff Burton (bass); Lars Ulrich (drums). This was Metallica's first serious album release and was met with a little critical acclaim at the time(being ranked number 35 in Rolling Stone's greatest albums of the 80s survey for ...  Read the complete review

I suppose everyone had to start somewhere, unfortunately Metallica chose to start here. Well, perhaps that’s a bit harsh, while not being particularly great, Kill ‘em All is not particularly bad either. (Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth is a great, if somewhat bizarre, solo by bass player Cliff Burton and even way back in ’83 ...  Read the complete review

'Kill 'em All' contains pure adrenaline-pumping music, plain and simple. The lyrics are not particularly impressive. But then again, this is not a deep album; it's not supposed to make you contemplate life, it's supposed to make you get up and wreak senseless havoc on the streets! All your good sense is stripped from you when ...  Read the complete review

First of all, I want to tell you that I'm a 16 year old german girl.. on this way I want to improve my bad ,bad English... Here is my statement: With their first album "KILL 'EM ALL"(1983), Metallica started being the greatest metal band indeed (they won 3 gremmys yet). The style, suitably to the that time popular ...  Read the complete review

A fine debut from these four young Californian thrashers. Probably the bands least accessable album but a metalhead's dream. This was thrash metal as it had never been heard before. Very fast riffs combined with Kirk Hammett's manic solos make this album a treat for anyone looking for something hard, heavy and at lightning speed. The bass ...  Read the complete review

After the NWOBHM (Er...New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, whew!) exploded onto the scene with bands like Iron Maiden; who had pioneered a hard, faster and darker kind of metal - it would only be time before American kids would pick up on the new Brit music scene just as they'd devoured punk, and unleash their own batch of artists. Amongst ...  Read the complete review
