records the group’s first album kilomole
was released in 1983
the thrash metal record was not
initially a commercial success but its
supporting tour helped the band garner
of following in the underground metal
scene up next was 1984’s ride the
lightning and this was later considered
one of the classic albums of thrash
metal
Hey

their performances and they were soon
signed to major label Elektra Records

most influential heavy metal albums
unfortunately the subsequent tour was
marred by tragedy when Burton was killed
in a bus accident a period of mourning
and deliberation followed the remaining

carry on with the bang two years later
