Album Description You don't become rock 'n' roll legends with only a couple good records and you don't become metal legends by playing soft. Metallica have become the authentic rock/metal crossover kings through constant touring, heavy thrashing, and turning their live performances into explosive events. These thrash metal pioneers have spawned an entire new generation of metalheads. Crimson Mask has pulled together 12 of metal's heaviest hitters to rework the classics that helped shape an entire genre. On this tribute you will find performances by legends Juan Garcia of Agent Steel and Infernal Majesty's Rick Nemes. Crushing Metal Strikes pays homage to the songs of Metallica by beating them up and pummeling them into submission - all for your listening pleasure.
