St. Anger is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica. Released on Jun. 5, 2003 (16 years ago), this album marks the longest time span between studio albums from Metallica, with the nearly six years between the release of ReLoad and St. Anger and the first to receive a Parental Advisory label excluding the cover album Garage Inc. The album was originally intended for release on Jun. 10, 2003 (16 years ago), but was instead released five days earlier due to fear of music piracy over filesharing networks.

St. Anger is the first Metallica album since Master of Puppets to not feature long-time bassist Jason Newsted, due to his departure from the band prior to the recording of the album. Afraid to start recording too soon with a new bassist, producer Bob Rock performed the bass parts for St. Anger. After the recording of the album was over, Metallica hired Robert Trujillo as the band's new bassist. He went on a nearly two-year tour with Metallica in support of the album. Recording initially started 24th of Apr. 2001 (18 years ago), but was postponed indefinitely because singer and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield entered rehab for alcoholism and other undefined addictions. St. Anger also marks the last collaboration between Metallica and Bob Rock.

St. Anger debuted at the top of sales charts in 30 countries, including the United States Billboard 200. Upon the release of the album, St. Anger met mixed critical reviews. In 2004 (15 years ago), the lead single from the album, "St. Anger", won a Grammy Award for "Best Metal Performance".
