2/ I believe in the premise of spiritual warfare. We all fight it when it comes to the powers of sin within each of us. I don’t take that lightly.

But so many Christians will use the term to justify directing all the resources of a church against a group of people they don’t like or disagree with.

Just imagine holding beliefs and living your life in such a way so that you see "racist behavior" and "bigots" and immediately think they must be talking about you.

note the significantly faster tempo as well as uniquely lyrical quality

I used the word arguably earlier to suggest that Metallica popularized and expanded thrash rather than invented it

that honor goes much less arguably to the German metal pioneers Accept

this album was released in 1982, the year before Kill ‘Em All, and this is the title track

glam had an initial advantage in terms of audience, album sales, and concert revenue

think Def Leppard, whose Pyromania came out the same year as Kill ‘Em All

Metallica was the first metal band to defy this trend through sheer musicianship

consider the second track on the album, the most popular:

Metallica are from the Bay Area (San Francisco)

thrash arose in opposition to the emerging, more glamorous

and what was, at the time, the far more lucrative sub-genre now known as hair or glam metal, centered in Los Angeles

which itself derived from the opposition to punk by David Bowie and Kiss

this could be his breakout moment

I have hopes

this is the opening track; it arguably initiated the sub-genre of metal known as thrash or thrash metal

note the tempo as well as the uniquely percussive quality of the guitar and vocals
