2023 // 1985
Metallica at Donington now and then. It's wild to think how much they've accomplished and been through between Ross capturing these two photos.

MOVING UP THE RANKS OF '80s THRASH METAL-MANIA -- RECORD SIGNINGS FOR ONLY THE TRUEST BELIEVERS.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on American thrash metal band METALLICA, photographed during a "Ride the Lightning" record signing at Chris' Warped Records, Lakewood, Ohio, USA, on February 2, 1985.
NOTE: The band signed to major label Elektra Records in the fall of 1984, and re-released "Ride the Lightning" on said label in the fall of the same year, hence why the band was still promoting the album into early 1985. Moving up in the world indeed.
