Metallica has portrait an dominant voice In the music industry for the past few decades. While they have always been considered a "metal" band their overall sound has not maintained a consistent style. I would like to show an example of how a band that has existed for so long can change their style and maintain dedicated fan base. The first example I would like to show is an early Metallica song from the album Master of Puppets called Battery available at the link below.

The next Metallica song to compare Battery to is off the Load album and called Until it Sleeps. The drastic tempo change and overall sound comparison is pretty drastic compared to their sound ten years earlier.

Finally a more recent Metallica song from their St. Anger album called Frantic. Here it seems that they tried to call back to the thrash metal style of their earlier albums mixed with some slower breakdowns we heard around the Load period.

This is an example of how drastically a band can change their sound after releasing 17 albums over three decades.
