If Metallica was Death Metal - Ride the Lightning FULL ALBUM (feat. ERock and Andriy Vasylenko)

Here's the whole Ride the Lightning album but as if Metallica was a death metal band!

This is one of my longest projects so far and I feel happy that so many of you suggested and voted for this one!

Just like on my AJFA Death Metal project, the core of all the songs remained mostly the same as the originals, but at the same time modified significantly.

Huge thanks to my great friends and musicians Andriy Vasylenko and Eric Calderone for jumping in with their magnificent input.

August the 2nd streaming services. Happy 40th anniversary to 'Ride the Lightning' album, my favorite one! Huge thanks to everyone who voted and suggested this idea!

Massive thanks to Andriy Vasylenko and Eric Calderone for their amazing performance and guest appearance!

This one was a bigger challenge than a death metal version on ...And Justice for All, but I'm happy with the result!

The creeping death chorus ( 38:26 ) has such haunting black metal vibe, incredible.

Man, I'm sure Chuck Schuldiner would have congratulated you on this. It's so good, it almost brought a tear to my eye in memory of a sadly bygone era. A fucking masterpiece, yeah!!

Morbid Angel vibe. Cool to see here Andrij.

You've created another 'If Metallica Was Death Metal' masterpiece! I love the original album and I love this a bit more, especially Fade to black, Creeping death and Trapped under ice! 🤘🤘

[zososound]

This is all I'm gonna listen to for a month straight.

[jamesparsons]

That was so fucking Epic. You guys did an awesome job. I am a long time metal head and I think you guys did great. You guys should get together and do another collaboration. Much love and respect from Jacksonville, FL.

[seanlee]

I don’t think you should do this with just Metallica, I think you should do this with everything. I can tell death metal is your forte. This is amazing man, I love it

[Juzzer]

Erock always looks so happy whilst shredding, his face says “this is bitchin’ -hell yeah!”

[xeroprotagonist]

The first time I listened to Metallica was when S&M came out, so Call of Ktulu was the first song I heard of theirs and it's always been one of my favorites. Your version is incredible! Thank you!

[BillyBigRiggin]

Thank you. This was my favorite Metallica album. My buddy would have loved this. His favorite album was AJFA and he loved the death metal version. I miss you brother, we all do.
