Metallica - Master Of Puppets (Vinyl)

Fakten Released in 1986, Master of Puppets is often hailed as Metallica’s ultimate masterpiece — the album that firmly established them as one of the most powerful forces in metal. Building on the groundbreaking sound of Ride the Lightning, this record refines and perfects their formula rather than reinventing it. The result? A monumental release that’s just as intense, but even more cohesive and ambitious.

Packed with epic, hard-hitting tracks and sprawling arrangements, Master of Puppets is heavy metal on a grand scale. Lyrically, the band explores themes of control, manipulation, and powerlessness — whether it’s corrupt authority, addiction, or even Lovecraftian horror. From the explosive opener “Battery" to the ferocious closer “Damage, Inc.", Metallica channels raw aggression and precision into every note.

Despite little to no radio play, the album became a massive success, breaking into the Top 30 and selling millions of copies worldwide. Today, it’s frequently cited as one of the greatest metal albums ever made — a must-have for any serious music collection.

The 2017 expanded edition takes things even further, with deluxe box sets featuring remastered audio, live recordings, demos, rare interviews, and collector’s items — a treasure trove for die-hard fans.
