Metallica first found commercial success with the release of its third album, Master of Puppets (1986), which is cited as one of the heaviest metal albums and the band's best work. The band's next album, ...And Justice for All (1988), gave Metallica its first Grammy Award nomination. Its self-titled fifth album, Metallica (1991), was the band's first not to root predominantly in thrash metal; it appealed to a more mainstream audience, achieving substantial commercial success and selling over 16 million copies in the United States to date, making it the best-selling album of the SoundScan era. After experimenting with different genres and directions in subsequent releases, Metallica returned to its thrash metal roots with the release of its ninth album, Death Magnetic (2008), which drew similar praise to that of the band's earlier albums. This was followed by the band's 10th studio album, Hardwired... to Self-Destruct (2016), with its 11th album, 72 Seasons, releasing in 2023.
In 2000, Metallica led the case against the peer-to-peer file sharing service Napster, in which the band and several other artists filed lawsuits against the service for sharing their copyright-protected material without consent, eventually reaching a settlement. Metallica was the subject of the acclaimed 2004 documentary film Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, which documented the troubled production of the band's eighth album, St. Anger (2003), and the internal struggles within the band at the time. In 2009, Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band co-wrote the screenplay for and starred alongside Dane DeHaan in the 2013 concert film Metallica: Through the Never, in which the band performed live against a fictional thriller storyline.
Metallica has released 10 studio albums, four live albums (including two performances with the San Francisco Symphony), 12 video albums, a cover album, two extended plays, 37 singles and 39 music videos. The band has won nine Grammy Awards from 23 nominations, and its last six studio albums (beginning with Metallica) have consecutively debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Metallica ranks as one of the most commercially successful bands of all time, having sold over 125 million albums worldwide as of 2018. Metallica has been listed as one of the greatest artists of all time by magazines such as Rolling Stone, which ranked the band No. 61 on its 100 Greatest Artists of All Time list. As of 2017, Metallica is the third-best-selling music artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991, selling a total of 58 million albums in the United States.

No Remorse
Metallica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No thought to even what we have done
We don't need to feel the sorrow
No remorse for the helpless one
War without end
No remorse, no repent
We don't care what it meant
Another sorrow, another breath
No remorse, no repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day, another death
Another sorrow, another breath
Blood feeds the war machine
As it eats its way across the land
We don't need the feel the sorrow
No remorse is the one command
War without end
No remorse, no repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day, another death
Another sorrow, another breath
No remorse, no repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day, another death
Another sorrow, another breath
Only the strong survive
No one to save the weaker race
We are ready to kill all comers
Like a loaded gun right at your face
War without end
No remorse, no repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day, another death
Another sorrow, another breath
No remorse, no repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day, another death
Another sorrow Another breath
Attack
Bullets are flying people are dying
With madness surrounding all hell's breaking loose
Soldiers are hounding Bodies are mounting
Cannons are shouting to take their abuse
With war machines going Blood starts to flowing
No mercy given to anyone hear
The furious fighting Swords are like lighting
It all becomes frightening to you Know death is near
No remorse
The lyrics of "No Remorse" by Metallica describe a soldier's perspective on war and killing without any hesitation or remorse. The song asserts that war is violent and merciless, and the soldiers don't care about the consequences of their actions or the pain and suffering they cause. The lyrics convey the idea that in war, it's all about survival, and the only option is to kill before getting killed. The song emphasizes that war is all about killing and the disregarding of human life.
The chorus "No remorse, no repent, we don't care what it meant" is repeated throughout the song, reinforcing the idea that the soldiers are only concerned with their own survival and not thinking about the bigger picture. The lyrics also suggest that the soldiers are like machines or guns, programmed to kill without emotions, feelings, or empathy.
The verses of the song detail the horrors of war, emphasizing the cannibalistic and bloody nature of the conflict. The lyrics also suggest that war is never-ending, with one death and sorrow following another. The song ends with a call to arms, with soldiers urged to attack and kill their enemies without any hesitation or remorse.
