Metallica is an American heavy metal band, formed in October 1981.

With 57 million albums sold in the United States alone (RIAA Total Sales) and over 35 million albums sold outside the U.S. [1] [2], the band has sold just over 90 million albums, making them one of the most commercially successful heavy metal acts in history. Metallica is currently 18th on the RIAA's list of top selling acts in the United States.

After building a loyal following by helping to develop modern heavy metal, especially thrash metal (Metallica is the most successful of the "big four" of thrash metal, which include Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax) in the mid-1980s, the band broadened its audience in the early 1990s.
