Metallica

Back in September 1991, when Metallica delivered an electrifying performance of "Harvester of Sorrow" at the Tushino Air Field in Moscow, they were riding high on the success of their self-titled album, often called "The Black Album." Released just months earlier, in August 1991, this groundbreaking album marked a significant shift in their sound—steering away from the thrash metal of their earlier records to a more polished, mainstream rock vibe. The concerts in Moscow were particularly monumental, symbolizing not just a triumph for the band but also a cultural milestone in post-Soviet Russia, showcasing the power of music as both a unifier and a form of rebellion. Interestingly, it was during this era that Metallica's immense global appeal began to reach unprecedented levels, capturing the hearts of millions and making their mark as one of the defining bands of a generation.
