June 5th, 2003 Vertigo CD
Music videos were shot for "St. Anger", "Frantic", "The Unnamed Feeling" and "Some Kind of Monster". Bass player Robert Trujillo is credited as band member, performs on the St. Anger Rehearsals DVD and features in every music video for the album, but he did not play any song in it. The album's creation process is chronicled in detail in the documentary "Some Kind of Monster". Metallica tried some different approaches to making music on this album, like collaborating on lyrics. Conceived, recorded and mixed between May, 2002 and April, 2003 at HQ in San Rafael, California. Mastered at Sony Studios in New York City, New York.
