Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released 34 years after the album, this doc arrived just as 'Stranger Things' catapulted the title track to TikTok fame, introducing Cliff Burton's genius to Gen Z.
The documentary contains the only known footage of the band recording in Copenhagen's Sweet Silence Studios, which burned down in 2019 — making these images irreplaceable.
