Limited Deluxe Edition remastered re-release of the second full-length album by the legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Album was released on July 27, 1984 through the independent record label Megaforce Records and was re-released on November 19, 1984 by Elektra Records. "Ride the Lightning" is the last Metallica album to credit former member, Dave Mustaine.
"Kill 'Em All" may have revitalized Heavy Metal's Underground, but "Ride The Lightning" was even more stunning, exhibiting staggering musical growth and boldly charting new directions that would affect Heavy Metal for years to come. Incredibly ambitious for a one-year-later sophomore effort, "Ride The Lightning" finds Metallica aggressively expanding their compositional technique and range of expression. Every track tries something new, and every musical experiment succeeds mightily. The lyrics push into new territory as well - more personal, more socially conscious, less Metal posturing. But the true heart of "Ride The Lightning" lies in its rich musical imagination. There are extended, progressive epics; tight, concise groove-rockers; thrashers that blow anything on "Kill 'Em All" out of the water, both in their urgency and the barest hints of melody that have been added to the choruses. “Ride The Lightning” retains the speed of “Kill 'Em All” on songs like "Trapped Under Ice" and "Fight Fire with Fire", but also contains the first of Metallica's longer, more intricate tracks, such as "Fade to Black" and the nearly 9-minute closing instrumental "The Call of Ktulu".
“Ride The Lightning” was certified Gold by the RIAA on November 5, 1987 and was most recently certified 5x Platinum on June 9, 2003. It was listed at number 3 on a list compiled by metal-rules.com of the “Top 100 Metal Albums of All Time” and #5 by IGN Music on the "Top 25 Metal Albums”.
"Ride The Lightning" effectively rewrote the rule book for a generation of Thrashers! If "Kill 'Em All" was the manifesto, "Ride The Lightning" was the revolution itself!!
Limited to 30 000 copies Deluxe numbered Box Set includes 3LPs, 12” Picture EP, 6CDs, DVD, big 72-page book with never-before-seen photos & essays, mini book with handwritten lyrics, 3 posters set, as well as individual download cards included with each vinyl.
