Metallica

In the electrifying moment captured on September 28, 1991, Metallica performed at the Tushino Air Field in Moscow, a concert that marked a pivotal chapter in their career. This was just days before the release of their self-titled album, commonly known as "The Black Album," which came out later that year. "The Black Album" was a major turning point, propelling Metallica into mainstream superstardom with hits like "Enter Sandman" and "The Unforgiven." Interestingly, this concert was part of a larger event known as "Monsters of Rock," showcasing the band's immense popularity and the cultural shift happening in Russia post-Soviet Union. The energy at the Tushino Air Field that day was palpable—being one of the largest crowds they had ever played for, it not only showcased their music but also resonated deeply with fans hungry for freedom and expression. It was truly a moment where heavy metal met history.
