In keeping with my role as Up on the Sun's resident metal geek, throughout 2011 I'll be looking back a quarter century at 10 iconic thrash metal albums of 1986. For my money, 1986 was the best year in the history of thrash metal -- and probably the genre as a whole -- giving us seminal releases by many of the genre's best acts. Each entry will coincide with the 25th anniversary of the album's release date and will feature interviews with people who were part of the recording process.
Today we kick things off with Metallica's Master of Puppets, which was released on March 3, 1986. We Interviewed the album's producer, Flemming Rasmussen, and Jim Brautigam, the son of the late artist Don Brautigam, who painted the record's iconic cover.
