Earlier this year Spotify launched a video section to their mobile apps for a bizarrely varied collection of video content, but with original music-related videos the section will start to seem a lot more robust.<\/p>\n<p>The first episode of Metallica: The Early Years is called Metal Militia and is available on YouTube, however the other 3 episodes seem to be only available on Spotify&#8217;s mobile apps.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Metallica: The Early Years -- Trailer\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hhg90KY6CxU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s\u00a0the description for each chapter:<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><strong>Chapter One: Metal Militia<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>How did an army of tape-traders help a group of pimply misfits &#8220;go viral in 1982? Metal Militia recounts the story, from Lars Ulrich&#8217;s chance encounter with Motorhead in a London rehearsal space to the arrival of Cliff Burton.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><strong>Chapter Two: Metal Up Your Ass<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>With the arrival of Kirk Hammett on guitar, Metallica now had all the weapons they needed to record their debut album, Metal Up Your Ass. Although they were forced to change the name, they still managed to change the game with a unique combination of punk aggression and metal riffs that would come to be known as thrash.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><strong>Chapter Three: Sophistication &amp; Brutality<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>With Cliff Burton fully on-board as a contributing songwriter, Metallica&#8217;s vision grew exponentially with the follow up to Kill&#8217; Em All. From literary references in the lyrics to acoustic guitars to &#8211; gasp &#8211; a ballad, Ride The Lightning showed the band&#8217;s growing ambition, creative potential, and willingness to piss off critics and fans in the pursuit of something epic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><strong>Chapter Four: Armageddon&#8217;s Here<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>In the span of a few short years Metallica went from dive bars to stadiums.
