“Brett Murray/Metallica The concert was the first of 24 concerts Metallica will play at the Sphere for their residency Life Burns Faster, which takes its name from a lyric in “Master of Puppets.” The concerts are grouped into two-night couplings with the group playing unique set lists each night.”

“The title song itself lasts nearly 10 minutes on the album, so the group was able to build the animation slowly, beginning with a look inside the “Halls of Justice” that frontman James Hetfield sings about before stopping at the base of the statue The scene, which is animated similarly to a high-end video game, opens up to reveal Doris in the middle of a cylindrical jail as the silhouettes of prisoners peer out from behind bars.”
