Metallica

In July 2009, Metallica was riding high on the success of their album *Death Magnetic*, which had been released just a year prior. This album marked a thrilling return to their thrash roots and reignited their early sound, capturing both old and new fans alike. The live recording from their performance in Copenhagen features the live debut of "Suicide & Redemption," a powerful instrumental track from the same album. It’s fascinating to think how this performance was a milestone for the band—playing a new piece live for the first time. The energy of the crowd, mixed with the band's intensity, encapsulates the spirit of Metallica during this period: a band that’s not just resting on its legacy but actively shaping its future. Plus, it’s a testament to their dedication to delivering raw and authentic performances, imperfections and all. So, while the recording quality might not be top-notch, the momentous nature of the performance certainly makes it unforgettable!
