Metallica

In November 2005, when Metallica delivered their electrifying performance of "Enter Sandman" in Seoul, they were basking in the glow of their sixth studio album, "Load," released back in 1996. This album marked a pivotal shift for the band, showcasing a blend of hard rock and alternative influences that strayed from their thrash metal roots. Fast forward to the live recording, and Metallica was ramping up for their "Death Magnetic" era, which would drop in 2008. The Seoul concert was part of their extensive world tour, highlighting their enduring global appeal and ability to pack arenas with fervent fans. Interestingly, the band's live performances during this time were a testament to their evolution and willingness to experiment, as they reached out to new audiences while still thrilling long-time followers with classics like "Enter Sandman." It’s fascinating how even after years, their energy and connection with the crowd remain a significant part of their live identity.
