Source: AcousticBrainz, dump of 2022-06-23 (CC0) · MusicBrainz core data, 2026-09-17 (CC0) · how each number is measured. Measured up to 23.06.2022 — AcousticBrainz stopped collecting in 2022, so nothing released after that date is here.

25 recordings credited to Metallica cleared this site's bar of 125 analyses. Their median tempo is 117.8 BPM; 36% of them are in a major key.

8 of the 25 are in A minor, which is more than any other key in this catalogue.

No tempo band leads; the fastest recording here is Damage, Inc. at 184.6 BPM and the slowest Disposable Heroes at 89.6.

This is a count of what AcousticBrainz's contributors happened to analyse, not a discography: a recording nobody ran the extractor over is simply absent.
