“Metallica became a part of my DNA in the years when I started listening to music,” Annie Clark tells Apple Music. “It’s just imprinted in me in a certain way. That’s when you first discover that feeling, freedom, and rage. ** Sometimes you are a 13-year-old ball of angst and want—no, NEED—to lock yourself in your room and listen to pure metal aggression.” Clark backs up her talk, not only with the St. Vincent cover of “Sad But True” for the Metallica Blacklist project, celebrating 30 years of Metallica’s self-titled Black Album, but with this exclusive playlist for Apple Music showcasing her favourite Metallica songs as well as ones by Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, TOOL and more.
