| Sažetak | U ovome radu obrađeni su povijest i stvaralaštvo jednoga od najpopularnijih heavy metal sastava svih vremena, Metallice. U prvome poglavlju opisana je biografija sastava koja uključuje sve bitne događaje i okolnosti njihova rada. Od nastanka grupe 1983. Metallica je nailazila na brojne prepreke, a jedna od njih je bila brojnost sastava koji su pripadali istome glazbenom stilu te su se u isto vrijeme kao i Metallica pokušavali domoći slave. U tu je svrhu Metallica započela sa sviranjem glazbe koja je bila agresivnija i brža od one koju su stvarali drugi sastavi stvorivši osobni stil prema kojem do danas definiramo Metallicu. Tijekom dugogodišnjeg postojanja članovi Metallice su zajedno proživjeli brojne uspone i padove. Jedan od najtežih trenutaka za sastav bila je smrt člana sastava Cliffa Burtona, a među događaje koji su oblikovali grupu spada i razdoblje u kojem se James Hetfield borio protiv ovisnosti o alkoholu. Metallica je sudjelovala i u borbi za autorska prava prilikom koje je trajno uklonjena stranica za besplatno preuzimanje pjesama, Napster. Drugo poglavlje obuhvaća kratke životopise trenutnih i bivših članova Metallice. Od nastanka Metallice pa do danas u sastavu grupe je došlo do nekoliko promjena. Od prvobitnih članova grupe, danas se u sastavu nalaze James Hetfield i Lars Ulrich koji su ujedno i osnivači Metallice. Današnji sastav, zajedno s osnivačima, čine još i Robert Trujillo i Kirk Hammett. Sljedeće poglavlje sadrži kratke opise pojedinih heavy metal stilova te je u istom određena i obrazložena žanrovska pripadnost sastava. S obzirom da je Metallica jedan od najpoznatijih heavy metal sastava na svijetu, a heavy metal čine brojni žanrovi, neophodno je svrstavanje Metallice u jedan od tih žanrova, iako neke od njihovih pjesama svojim karakterom odstupaju čak i od heavy metala općenito. Posljednje poglavlje svojim sadržajem obuhvaća popis diskografskih izdanja te dvaju filmova u čijem je stvaranju sudjelovala Metallica. |
