Musical Notes

Arco String Quartet takes Metallica somewhere you’ve probably never heard them before, where the raw intensity of 80s and 90s thrash metal is stripped back and rebuilt. Still loud, still powerful, just reimagined through four string instruments.

Featuring all new arrangements of the band’s most iconic early tracks based mainly around the “Live Sh*t, Binge & Purge” album from 1993, this set takes their driving riffs, soaring melodies, and restless rhythms and places them in a completely new context.

Whether you know every Metallica track inside out or just fancy hearing something a bit different, this set brings a fresh, bold twist to some seriously legendary music. In short: it’s Metallica — just with bows instead of guitars, and every bit as powerful.
