  During the live recording of "Metallica: Live in Munich, Germany - June 13, 2004," the band was riding high on the success of their album "St. Anger," which was released in June 2003. This album marked a significant turning point for Metallica as it was their first studio release since the death of bassist Cliff Burton and showcased a raw, unfiltered sound. Notably, "St. Anger" featured a return to a more aggressive musical style, reflecting the band's deliberate departure from the polished production of their previous works. The Munich concert took place during their "Summer Sanitarium Tour," which also included performances with bands like Linkin Park and Deftones, showcasing Metallica's ability to draw diverse crowds. Interestingly, despite mixed critical reviews of "St. Anger," the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, reaffirming Metallica's enduring popularity in the metal genre.
