With a new long player in the pipeline that he’s promising will be his band’s “heaviest” and “coolest” yet, what better time to hear Metallica’s drummer extraordinaire, Lars Ulrich, wax lyrical about three of the albums that have most inspired the man and his music?
Alice In Chains
Dirt
Columbia (1992)
With songs focused on depression, pain, anger, anti-social behaviour, relationships, drug addiction (primarily heroin), war, death and other emotionally charged topics, this is not exactly a stroll in the park. “It still sounds as raw, transparent, honest and courageous to my ears as ever” said Ulrich recently. “What an incredible record. It just still sounds so timely… It’s such an incredibly deep, dark record… super heavy, short songs, just great.”
Rage Against The Machine
The Battle Of Los Angeles…
