The title track to the band’s third album was featured during the band’s June 28 show at the city’s Principality Stadium as part of the ongoing M72 World Tour in support of its latest release, “72 Seasons.”
“Master Of Puppets” became thrash metal's first platinum album upon its original release; it recently received a new RIAA certification of 8x platinum for US sales of eight million.
Historically, the project is the heaviest rock album ever to be selected by the US Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant," as “Master of Puppets” has long been regarded as a watershed moment in the history of rock music.
Metallica is also sharing video of a performance of the 1992 single, “Wherever I May Roam”, from the Cardiff event.
The band recently completed a summer series of dates across Europe and will next be seen hosting its Life Burns Faster Sphere Las Vegas residency in the fall.
