Through the NeverMetallica

Released: August 12, 1991

Songwriter: Kirk Hammett Lars Ulrich James Hetfield

Producer: Lars Ulrich James Hetfield Bob Rock

[Verse 1]
All that is, was, and will be
Universe, much too big to see
Time and space, never ending
Disturbing thoughts, questions pending
Limitation of human understanding
Too quick to criticize
Obligation to survive
We hunger to be alive, yeah

[Chorus]
(Twisting, turning, through the never)
All that is, ever, ever was
Will be ever, twisting, turning
Through the never

[Verse 2]
In the dark, see past our eyes
Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies
Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens
On a quest, meaning, reason
Come to be, how it begun
All alone in the family of the sun
Curiosity teasing everyone
On our home, third stone from the sun, yeah

[Chorus]
(Twisting, turning, through the never)
All that is, ever, ever was
Will be ever, twisting, turning
Through the never

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
On through the never
We must go
On through the never
Out to the
Edge of forever
We must go
On through the never
Then never comes

[Chorus]
(Twisting, turning, through the never)
All that is, ever, ever was
Will be ever, twisting, turning
Who we are, ask forever
Twisting, turning, through the never
Never

Metallica

Like Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden before, Metallica has managed to transcend the genre from which it was originated. To their metal fanbase they are considered one of the Big Four bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer; however Metallica is also one of the most commercially successful bands in all of rock music, having sold 110 million records including the 16x platinum Metallica, which stands as both the highest selling metal album of all time and most successful album of the past 25 years.

Metallica was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles after drummer Lars Ulrich placed an advert in the classifieds newspaper The Recycler, which was answered by singer/rhythm guitarist James Hetfield. They were soon joined by lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, who later formed Megadeth after being kicked out of the band because of his substance and alchohol abuse, and bassist Ron McGovney, a childhood friend of Hetfield. These two early members were replaced with Cliff Burton (who relocated the band to San Francisco) and ex-Exodus lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett to form the band’s classic line-up.

The band released three albums, 1983’s Kill ‘Em All, 1984’s Ride The Lightning and 1986’s Master of Puppets before the tragic and untimely death of Cliff Burton on September 27th, 1986.
