METALLICA‘s second studio album, Ride the Lightning, released in 1984, solidified the band’s position as pioneers of thrash metal. Known for its aggressive sound and technical prowess, this album remains a beloved classic among fans and critics alike.
Members of METALLICA recently visited Furnace Record Pressing where they learned to press vinyl while crafting their own copies of Ride The Lightning (splatter vinyl). The video also includes a full tour of the facility. Watch it below.
In March 2023, METALLICA announced they had acquired a majority stake in Furnace Record Pressing, a top provider of high-quality vinyl records and related services. This acquisition solidified a long-standing relationship that has produced over five million pieces of METALLICA vinyl since 2014.
The band and Furnace have collaborated on several landmark projects, including the highly acclaimed deluxe box set editions of Kill ‘Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, …And Justice For All, Metallica (The Black Album), and S&M2. Their partnership is rooted in a shared fiercely independent ethos and a passionate commitment to quality.
This acquisition further exemplifies METALLICA‘s dedication to artistic control and their devotion to fans. By partnering with industry leader Furnace, METALLICA and their Blackened Recordings label can better meet the high demand for METALLICA vinyl, as well as serve other artists and record labels who rely on Furnace’s services.
