Song of the day for August 31, 2024
1 min read
My Friend Of Misery by Metallica is today’s featured song.
Before I go into the normal part of the post I just want to extend my deepest condolences to the friends and family of Lorne ‘Viking’ Lindstrom, who passed away last Friday night at the Metallica concert in Edmonton.
In 1991, Metallica’s self-titled fifth studio album (commonly referred to as The Black Album) began a four-week run at the top of the Billboard 200. A stylistic turning point in their career, the LP featured some of their best-known songs, including the ballad “Nothing Else Matters” and the platinum-certified hit, “Enter Sandman.” In 1992, Metallica won a Grammy for Best Metal Performance, while the album has since been certified 16x Platinum by the RIAA.
