Metallica have added 16 dates to their “Life Burns Faster” residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, tripling the number of shows for the engagement, which begins this fall and now extends into 2027., as Variety Music reports.
Clash Magazine independently reported that every once in a while, there comes an album that reshapes an entire genre, drawing a clear line between everything that came before it, and everything that came after. For thrash metal, it was Metallica‘s 1986 studio album ‘Master of Puppets’.
