This album marked a significant comeback for the band, capturing that raw, thrash metal energy that fans had craved. By the time they performed at the Orion Music Festival in Atlantic City, their legacy was well established; in fact, they were one of the driving forces behind heavy metal’s renaissance. The setlist from that night was a thrilling blend, opening with the classic “Hit The Lights” and featuring fan favorites like “Master Of Puppets” and “Sad But True.” Interestingly, this concert wasn't just a gig; it was part of their own festival, showcasing their willingness to branch out and curate an experience for fans.
