Metallica

On September 28, 1991, Metallica performed at Tushino Air Field in Moscow as part of the "Monsters of Rock" festival, a monumental event that marked one of the largest rock concerts in history. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their self-titled album, commonly known as "The Black Album," which debuted just months earlier in August 1991. The album was pivotal in their career, marking a shift towards a more mainstream sound and propelling the band to international fame. Notably, "The Black Album" featured iconic tracks such as "Enter Sandman" and "The Unforgiven," which dominated airwaves and significantly broadened their audience. The Moscow concert not only showcased Metallica's explosive live energy with powerful performances alongside legendary acts like AC/DC and Pantera but also solidified their status as one of the leading forces in heavy metal during a time of social change in Russia.
