Metallica Performance of Of Wolf and Man at Aftershock in Sacramento
On October 10, 2021, Metallica delivered a powerful performance of "Of Wolf and Man" at Discovery Park in Sacramento during the Aftershock Festival. This live recording came after the release of their ambitious album, "Hardwired... to Self-Destruct" in 2016, a record that marked their return to thrash roots while also showcasing a mature sound. What's fascinating is that, despite being over three decades into their career, the band continued delivering electrifying live shows, proving their resilience and dedication to their craft. Live outings like this performance are special—Metallica thrives on raw energy, and it feels like every crowd experience fuels their momentum. And let’s not forget: the camaraderie in their fan base, visible in the raucous festival atmosphere, truly makes such moments unforgettable. It’s a testament to how they've evolved while reliving the signature intensity that got them there in the first place.
