Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Hit the Lights by Metallica

Today's Metal Track is the opening track on Metallica's 1983 debut album Kill 'Em All.

This is the song that started it all for me. I remember my brother buying this this cassette along with Iron Maiden's Live After Death cassette when I was 5 and he was 14. On the ride home we debated which would be better based on the album covers.

When we got home we popped in this tape and this is what came through the speakers. We were blown away. It was fast, raw, intense, and heavy. After that moment, I was a metal head for life \m/
