[PAR] [TLE] For Whom the Bell Tolls (Metallica song) [SEP] "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is a song by American thrash metal band Metallica.  It was released as the second promotional single from their second album, "Ride the Lightning".  Among their most-played songs, it has, as of September 22, 2017, been performed 1,399 times, behind only "One" (1,408), "Creeping Death" (1,458), "Seek & Destroy" (1,484) and "Master of Puppets" (1,553). [PAR] [TLE] Ride the Lightning [SEP] Ride the Lightning is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released on July 27, 1984, by the independent record label Megaforce Records.  The album was recorded in three weeks with producer Flemming Rasmussen at the Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark.  The artwork, based on a concept by the band, depicts an electric chair being struck by lightning flowing from the band logo.  The title was taken from a passage in Stephen King's novel "The Stand".  Although rooted in the thrash metal genre, the album showcased the band's musical growth and lyrical sophistication.  This was partly because bassist Cliff Burton introduced the basics of music theory to the rest of the band and had more input in the songwriting.  Instead of relying strictly on fast tempos as on its debut "Kill 'Em All", Metallica broadened its approach by employing acoustic guitars, extended instrumentals, and more complex harmonies.  The overall recording costs were paid by Metallica's European label Music for Nations because Megaforce was unable to cover it.  It was the last album to feature songwriting contributions from former lead guitarist Dave Mustaine.
