"Dyers Eve" lands on ...And Justice for All, Metallica's 1988 album and their first full-length record with Jason Newsted on bass after Cliff Burton's death in 1986. James Hetfield wrote the words and sings lead, and he built the music with Kirk Hammett and Lars Ulrich, then worked out the arrangement with Ulrich.
The band co-produced with Flemming Rasmussen, who engineered the four months of sessions at One on One Recording Studios in Los Angeles early that year, and Michael Barbiero and Steve Thompson mixed. It sits on a record built for punishment: breakneck tempos, labyrinthine structures with little use for verse and chorus, lyrics aimed at injustice, corruption, censorship and war, and a bone-dry mix that critics knocked for burying the bass.
