Metallica – Ride the Lightning (Remastered 180 Gram Vinyl)

Metallica’s second studio album, Ride the Lightning (1984), captured the moment the band evolved from raw thrash upstarts to world-class songwriters. It’s a record that pushed the boundaries of heavy metal, darker, sharper and more ambitious, with “Fade to Black”, “For Whom the Bell Tolls”, and the blistering title track leading the charge.

This remastered edition, released through Blackened Recordings, was cut from the original analog masters for maximum power and clarity. Pressed on 180-gram black vinyl, it features the full eight-track album restored to its original running order with authentic artwork and packaging.
