So I wanted to make a visual timeline of just the runic alphabets for my own personal reference—so I could see when each alphabet was used and for how long and such.

But I got carried away.

Friday, July 19: Metallica, "Phantom Lord"

R.I.P. Cliff Burton (1962-1986)

Before they or anybody else were labeled thrash, Metallica offered up an American response to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.  Their love for Diamond Head has been documented to the point of exhaustion, but they were just as likely to cover Savage, Blitzkrieg and Saxon in their early shows, and that manifested in the original material they cooked up for Kill ‘Em All.  “Phantom Lord” was pretty much a tribute to Savage and Motӧrhead even as Hetfield, Ulrich and Mustaine were rapidly charting fertile new territories: there was some Fast Eddie Clarke in the frantic but swinging riff, Lars was more of a percussion enthusiast than an actual drummer, and James barked and yelped like a California Cronos.  But there was also a distinct personality and point of view embedded in all the frenzy, not just an American perspective but also the idiosyncrasies of these individuals (Cliff wasn’t as prevalent here, but he wouldn’t fully assert his chops as both player and composer until the following year).  And that made “Phantom Lord” a crucial stepping stone for Metallica as well as a bridge between movements.
