Description
Kill 'Em All is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released on July 25, 1983.[1] Since its release, it has been certified 3x platinum by the RIAA, having sold over three million copies in the United States.[4]The band initially intended to title the album Metal Up Your Ass with the cover featuring a toilet bowl with a hand clutching a dagger emerging from it. However, Megaforce urged them to change this, and they agreed, switching to Kill 'Em All. This time the cover featured the shadow of a hand letting go of a bloodied hammer. The original release can be distinguished by the words "Bang That Head That Doesn't Bang" at the top of the back cover. This was dropped from the re-release.In 1989, Kill 'Em All ranked number 35 on Rolling Stone's list of The 100 Greatest Albums of the '80s.[19] and was listed by Kerrang! magazine at number 29 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time".[20] The album peaked at number 120 on the U.S. Billboard 200,[1][21] and sold 300,000 copies upon first release.[22] It sold 500,000 copies and was certified gold in 1989, platinum in 1991, 2x platinum in 1995 and triple platinum in 1999.
