Ulrich’s friend Ron Quintana was brainstorming names for a fanzine and had considered MetalMania or Metallica. Ulrich was interested in Metallica, so he suggested Quintana use MetalMania instead.
The band was formed in Los Angeles when Ulrich placed an advertisement in a Los Angeles newspaper, The Recycler, in 1991 calling out metal musicians.

Opening Lyrics:
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don’t just say
And nothing else matters
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they know
Master Of Puppets

Opening Lyrics:
Crumbling away
I’m your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear
Sucking darkeness clear
Leading on your death’s construction
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I’m killing you
Obey your master (master)
Your life burns faster (faster)
Obey your
Master
Master
One
Length: 7:27
Release: 1988
Opening Lyrics:
I killed your baby today
And it doesn’t matter
Much to me
As long as it’s dead
I raped your mother today
And it doesn’t matter
Much to me
As long as she’s spread
Just waiting for your breath
Come, sweet death
One last caress
The Unforgiven
Length: 6:26
Release: 1991
Opening Lyrics:
And quickly he’s subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on, he’s known
Ooh, a vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they’ll take away
What I’ve known
Never shined through in what I’ve shown
Never be
Never see
Won’t see what might have been
