Kill 'Em All is Metallica's 1983 debut, the album that set the template for thrash metal. This is the standard single-disc digitally remastered edition. It pairs New Wave of British Heavy Metal riffs with hardcore punk tempos, and the playing is tight and precise rather than sloppy. It suits metal fans building a core collection and anyone curious where the genre's speed-and-structure formula started. Against later Metallica records it is rawer and less polished, and against other early thrash debuts it is the one most often cited as the blueprint.
