Heavy Metal/Thrash band Metallica started with a bang on their European tour in Czech Republic on Monday, May 7 by playing their entire famous Black Album backwards for fans. As suspected the  heavy metal fans were expecting a few songs from the generations of major hits but to be given all the classics was a real treat for them.

“What a great show here in Prague to start off the 20th Anniversary of the Black Album. The band surprised everyone, and played it backwards! During and after Sandman, it was pyro, pyro, pyro, and pyro!!! Sandman had fireworks, Fuel had the big flames…”,
a post on Metallica’s official website stated.

The band started the show with Hit the Lights, Master of Puppets and Blackened before performing the last track of ‘The Black Album’, The Struggle Within.

The band then played the track list of the album in reverse order closing the set with ‘Enter Sandman’, before closing the gig with Fuel, One and Seek & Destroy.
