St. Anger

It's official: The next release in The Metallica Vinyl Club is here, and it's a doozy.

Let's play a little game. What is your favorite Metallica album from the 2000s: 'St. Anger' or 'Death Magnetic'?

June 5 marks the anniversary of the release of Metallica's most controversial album, 'St. Anger,' which originally hit the streets in 2003.

As Metallica prep to perform at BottleRock and Boston Calling, they're celebrating the release of two new live videos from their run of South American shows.

In a new video, you can watch Metallica play "Dirty Window" from 'St. Anger'—a live rarity—at the second night of their 40th anniversary celebration.

In 2003, Metallica released their eighth studio album, a record that will forever carry with it much controversy. Prior to 'St. Anger,' it seemed like everything was headed in the right direction; seven studio albums into their career and Metallica had sold millions upon millions of records, picked up several industry awards and even recorded an epic performance with the San Francisco Symphony...

The music video for "Some Kind of Monster" takes footage from the film as well as older concert material and sets it to the tune of the song.

Metallica first played "The Unnamed Feeling" at a U.S. concert on March 8, 2004, at the Cow Palace venue in San Francisco.

Once again teaming up with director Wayne Isham, Metallica premiered the music video for St. Anger's second single, "Frantic," on Aug. 15, 2003.

Recording for the album that would eventually turn into 'St. Anger,' Metallica's eighth studio album, began in January 2001.
