1. INTRODUCTION (This section contain the same info as on the webpage)

   This disk is the most painful metalmod project I've organized ever, and
   after this I will take a small break and not start with a new disk direct
   after as I've done before. I hope all this pain resulted in the best disk
   I've organized so far, at least my opinion is so.

   This disk is a tribute to one single album, which is the main reason why
   it was so hard to organize, all covers on the disk are taken from the
   Metallica album "Ride The Lightning". The project started about 2 days
   after the release of "Modules In Black - A Tribute To Black Sabbath", which
   was in February. The whole inviting process took almost 2 months, so in
   April all trackers where choosed, the line-up was like this then:

      "Mystery Tracker" Fight Fire With Fire
      Modesty Drummer   Ride The Lightning
      Amanojaku         For Whom The Bell Tolls
      Cadaver           Fade To Black
      Arawhn            Trapped Under Ice
      Skarf             Escape
      Hybrido           Creeping Death
      Ari Manninen      The Call Of Ktulu

   Where "Mystery Tracker", as you can see now, was Zack. And Arawhn changed
   back to his old nick Betrayer before the release of the disk, though you
   can hear his style of covering has changed a lot.

   At the deadline (31st July) I had only got 3 of those covers, a praise goes
   to Betrayer, Cadaver and Skarf! I got Ari's cover in beginning of August
   and Zack's in September. In September I also choosed to replace Modesty
   Drummer, since he hadn't even started tracking the cover. After some
   conversations, first with Gutrot and then with Razor, it was decided that
   Razor made the tracking and Gutrot the vocals. Not before November I decided
   to replace Amanojaku, since I knew he had worked hard to finnsih his cover.
   First off he was suffered by a HD-crash, and he was working on the 4th try
   just before he left to Australia. Since I haven't heard from him since he
   left (3 months ago), I decided to replace him with Zack who asked several
   times if he could help me get the disk released as soon as possible.
