I honestly wish Metallica would go back to crushing old school tone like this one day. Great job all around with this one!

They never will. They hate repeating things from the past. Each new album is their best work to date, in their opinion.

Throughout the years, their tones are wide-ranged and iconic, but their mixing wasn't as good. And for now, their song mixing is amazing (in hardwired) but their tones aren't as cool sounding(?) as it was before.

DUDE ME TOO. What’s funny is that there live sound isn’t so bad but the album tone especially hardwired is so blah and boring. Plus the guitars are buried by Lars’ snare rolls and drum sound.

plot twist: Cliff Burton came back alive to help with this cover

As a cyborg

Sounds like a combination of Battery and Damage Inc, I like this plus the fact the starting animation makes Cliff look like a Terminator

Man I wanna hear 80's James sing this as well

If you need vocals hit up Voice of the 90s. He did vocals for Atlas Rise Justice for All mix.

Ngl I kinda like these more than any others reworks. This isn’t just a cheap inserts of other songs in one or completely guitar oriented track, it has Cliff additions, harmonies when it’s appropriate, the right parts are replaced in the right places, and the list goes on. Not only is it a musical accomplishment, but the visuals aren’t just some boring still image, it’s a visual experience as well. It’s fantastic bro, I don’t mean to raise you while putting down others rather I want to say you’re doing something others should do as well. You’re a standard.

Master of the Bone or Spit out the Puppets. Tough one.

Just putting it out there, this idea was again possible, all from the discord server of "StateofMercury". There was a competition held a few months ago in the server on who's 'what If' idea would gain the most votes. And of course, Spit out the Bone won. Congrats to Emiromus for winning the competition!

The guitar harmonies tho 🥵🥵🥵

This flat-out amazingness, the riffs/solos are beyond amazing, the mix is tight and not muddy everything is so balanced, and also how you reimagined the tallica logo. If only hardwired's album art looked like that lol.

Love that dystopian logo with spikes. Meanacing! Love the bass line breakdown too. Very Cliff'esq!

WOW!!! Great work Bryce! I'm absolutely amazed by talented producers such as Bryce Barilla, State of Mercury, Ahdy Khairat etc. Your work sounds so much better than hot shot producers such as Rick Rubin and Bob Rock. I'm hoping that James, Lars, Kirk and Rob are familiar with your "what ifs", and I wish that they'd choose you guys to produce their next album :) Keep up the good work!

Spit Out the Battery

Metallica can still make kick ass music it's the production that needs improvement I wish they would get Fleming Rasmussen back as producer

Been listening to this for 2 years. The arrangement is absolute genius!

Man, and I thought TLITD on RTL was your most ambitious work... This completely terminated (heh) all my expectations. I'm not even sure if you could outdo this one; you upped your visual presentation game this time, and this is probably your musical peak in regards to the "what if" Metallica niche! Someone else in the comments said that this didn't felt like it shoehorned certain parts from other MoP songs to make this rework more in-style, and that statement holds true when the song started to pick itself up from the galloping section at the start - the overall nuances from the MoP album were tastefully executed here! This might actually be your best, with TLITD on RTL being second now.

With this tone, this song fits right in!

Alternate title: Turning a Masterpiece Into Something Even More of a Masterpiece. Like... How?

Absolutely insane my man, really knocked it out of the ball park.

Holy shit……This is actually amazing.

2:03 DISPOSABLE HEROES

That was really epic man, this kind of work makes hope that next metallica is a very dark and epic piece like this, kinda MoP or AJFA-ish, but embracing their older age.

This is right up there with guitarazz (I didn’t spell that right) but this sounds incredible

Really I like what you did to this song

dude that artwork is incredible, i wish we could get a whole collection of mashup cover artworks

its so cool to listen to this with good headphones and notice all the little details, i can tell u put a lot into this its really impressive man these are awesome👍

Bro you are so talented at doing this, keep em coming! 🤘🤘🤘

Liked before it started, already know it's gonna be epic 🤘🔥👏💖

These are such gifts. Like outtakes found a vault. I love feeling like I'm listening to my favorite eras of this band again for the first time. Can't thank you enough for these, I imagine this is all a tremendous amount of work.

Spit Out The Battery

The visual gives me the impression in some alternate reality, they made terminator 2 in 1986 instead of 1991 and this was in the soundtrack

This is amazing. Thanks man.

Sick cover art!

Ride The Lightning but it's a concept album about Ktulu. Day 1.

So glad you popped into the list.don’t know why but this reminds me of the first time I heard sacred reich.love it

This is just amazing, keep them coming!

Currently sitting through this with my jaw dropped to the floor. Brilliant.

Just as a few minor comments, the Cliff-related stuff I think could sound perfect with some small, simple fixes. In the intro, instead of writing your own symphonic intro, I’d just use the original Damage Inc intro, cuz then it’s really a master of puppets song cuz I can hear a lot of ideas from the album. Lastly, the break after the 2nd chorus where Cliff has his solo, maybe take it up an octave. Cliff loves playing in the upper register of his bass, where he did 70% of his shredding. Especially if you look at Orion, both of his solos were in the upper register. That’s just my 2 cents, you did an outstanding job with the arranging!

I had a feeling I'd see Merc here! WHAT!!! Excellent work! Sounds amazing!! Great job!! 🔥

Awesome job my dude!

Wow you really killed it! The guitar and bass tones, drum sound, and musical arrangements are spot on if they were on Master of Puppets. This literally could’ve been on the album. That’s how well you knocked this out of the park! Truly an excellent job!👌🏻😎🤘🏻

Very good quality!🤘🔥

sounds awesome!

I like this. I'm js that it would sound completely different since Cliff would have composed most of it.

¡Buenísimo bro! Sounds very goood!!

Ok but listen to this My friend of misery on ride the lighting

Someone, show this to Lars, so he, at last, could have an idea, how to return "back to the roots".

F*ck^ng awesome!!! Imposible not to headbang with this!!! It is beyond perfect!!!! It made me feel what I felt when I first got into metal!!!

Amazing work, love to hear stuff like this. You should do some megadeth crosses I feel as if there aren’t enough of those on KZread

another masterpiece Bryce cheers man

I am literally speechless. What the hell did i just watch!? Great job man. Fuckin' great job.

Hey this is really great!

I'd been asking stateofmercury to do a cover of a song off DM or HTSD on a classic metallica album for like a year and a half thank you so much

I don't think lars could play such awesomeness hahahah... excellent cover dude, loved it

Unreal again mate proper beasty this

5:53 bruh... that shit slams

My favorite song on Hardwired, in the style of my favorite album 🤘

Sort of ends up in And Justice for All territory sometimes, maybe Ride the Lightning. The main galloping riff definitely feels like Master of Puppets, though.

Beautiful Metal!!! 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

Fully torqued. This is fucking incredible

Finally Spit Out The Bone gets some love Amazing work

Good work bro

okay the album art is the best thing in this video that's dope as fuck

Now this! This is quite Poggers!

I like at 1:10 when it goes all Hammer Smashed Face. This is HEAVY. Great work

Pretty sweet reimagining. Incidentally I think Hardwired is their best album since MoP.

Awesome!!

This canon now

🔥This cover art is amazing 🔥

Awesome version 🔥

Great as always!! How about That was Just Your Life on Master of Puppets next?
