I’m not sure a metal band will again reach the heights that Metallica has. Their finest statement is Master of Puppets, a pummeling and tight 55 minutes of metal at its most populist. Matt presents albums by two highly respected and beloved metal acts from the last 20 years, Leviathan by Mastodon and Blue Record by Baroness, in a battle of Georgia bands. If you’re looking for your way into metal more broadly, look no further.
