After 9 years of rehearsing, rehearsing, rehearsing, playing, and rehearsing, the 5 Norwegians from ANGERMAN finally release their debut album "No Tears For The Devil". They describe their musical style as GRM => Grunge-Rock-Metal, but I would clearly classify the album as a metal album. Musically, the songs swing between METALLICA's darker tracks and the St. Anger album, albeit with more guitar work. I don't consider the two albums to be the best METALLICA records, but the success has proven James Hetfield and his companions right.
