Metallica

In November 1992, when Metallica performed "Of Wolf and Man" at the Frankenhalle in Nuremberg, they were riding the wave of success following their groundbreaking self-titled album, commonly known as "The Black Album," which had dropped just a year earlier in 1991. This album marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, showcasing a shift towards a more mainstream sound while still holding onto their heavy metal roots. Within just a few years, hits like "Enter Sandman" and "The Unforgiven" had propelled them into rock superstardom. Interestingly, the live recording featured in the "Live at Frankenhalle" DVD is part of the remastered version of "The Black Album," released in 2021. This nod to their past highlights how their powerful live energy, captured in such recordings, continues to resonate with fans new and old, reinforcing their status as metal legends. It’s amazing how that moment in 1992 still echoes through their ongoing legacy, isn't it?
