Discography About The Record. Kill’Em All is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released on July 25, 1983, by the independent label Megaforce Records. Kill’Em All is regarded as a groundbreaking album for thrash metal because of its precise musicianship, which fuses New Wave of British Heavy Metal riffs with hardcore punk tempos. Its musical approach and lyrics were markedly different from rock’s mainstream of the early Eighties and inspired a number of bands who followed in similar manner. The album did not enter the Billboard 200 until 1986, when it peaked at number 155, following Metallica’s commercial success with its third studio album Master of Puppets; the 1988 Elektra reissue peaked at number 120. Kill’Em All was critically praised at the time of its release and in retrospect, and was placed on a few publications’ best album lists. The album generated two singles: “Whiplash” and “Jump in the Fire”. After solidifying its lineup with the additions of bassist Cliff Burton and lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, Metallica started playing shows in local clubs in Los Angeles before relocating to San Francisco. Metallica recorded a couple of demos, trying to get attention from club owners. The album was recorded in May with producer Paul Curcio at the Music America Studios in Rochester, New York. It was originally intended to be titled Metal Up Your Ass, with cover art featuring a hand clutching a dagger emerging from a toilet bowl. The band was asked to change the name because distributors feared releasing an album with such an offensive title and artwork would diminish its chances of commercial success. Metallica promoted the album on the two-month co-headlining Kill’Em All for One tour with Raven in the United States. Jump In The Fire. THE VIRGIN VINYL ALBUM IS STILL ORIGINAL FACTORY SEALED.
