Netflix is turning up the volume once again — this time with a pulse-pounding, adrenaline-fueled docuseries that celebrates one of the most influential drummers in rock history. *“The Beat of Metallica – Lars Ulrich”* dives deep into the life, drive, and drumming genius of Metallica’s co-founder, the man who turned rhythm into rebellion and built a global metal empire from behind his iconic kit.
From his early days in Denmark to the gritty Los Angeles metal scene of the early ’80s, Lars’s story is one of pure determination and relentless ambition. The series traces how a teenage dreamer with a love for Deep Purple and Motörhead helped shape a sound that would revolutionize heavy music forever. Featuring rare footage, exclusive interviews, and intimate reflections from bandmates James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo, this docuseries captures the chaos, creativity, and chemistry that forged Metallica’s legacy.
Fans will witness the highs of global domination — from *Master of Puppets* to *The Black Album* — and the lows of personal struggles, creative clashes, and reinvention. But at its core, *“The Beat of Metallica”* is about Lars’s heartbeat — the rhythm that has driven one of the greatest bands of all time for over four decades.
Powerful, personal, and unapologetically loud, this Netflix original celebrates a man who never missed a beat — even when the world tried to change the tempo.
**Coming soon to Netflix — the rhythm, the fire, the legend: Lars Ulrich.**
