Metallica
Sandman's musical summoners
Metallica is an American heavy metal band formed in 1981, among the most commercially successful and influential in the genre.
The band helped pioneer thrash metal with albums like *Master of Puppets* and crossed into mainstream rock with the self-titled "Black Album." My dad still listens to Metallica.
The name suggests something metallic or relating to metal music.
