The band was not satisfied with the acoustics of the American studios they considered, and decided to record in Ulrich's native Denmark. [10] Ulrich took drum lessons, and Hammett worked with Joe Satriani to learn how to record more efficiently. [6] Ulrich was in talks with Rush's bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee to produce the album, but the collaboration never materialized because of uncoordinated schedules. [11] Metallica recorded the album with producer Flemming Rasmussen at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark, from September 1 to December 27, 1985. [12] The writing of all the songs except " Orion" and "The Thing That Should Not Be" was completed before the band's arrival in Copenhagen. [8] Rasmussen stated that the band brought well-prepared demos of the songs, and only slight changes were made to the compositions in the studio. [13] The recording took longer than the previous album because Metallica had developed a sense of perfectionism and had higher ambitions. [10]McClure, Kelly (July 2, 2022).
