ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Damage Inc also brings Metallica’s music to life on an even larger scale with their symphonic production, performing alongside live orchestras in a tribute to Metallica’s legendary S&M concerts. With complete orchestral arrangements ready for performance, the band can partner with symphony orchestras across the country to create a powerful concert experience combining the music of Metallica with the depth and impact of a live orchestra. Also featured twice on AXS TV’s “The World’s Greatest Tribute Bands”, Damage Inc performs an expansive setlist spanning Metallica’s entire career—from the raw power of Kill ‘Em All to the latest releases—recreating the legendary live experience with precision, passion, and relentless energy.

Damage Inc is widely recognized as America’s top Metallica tribute band, reproducing the sound, energy, and intensity of a live Metallica concert with uncompromising authenticity. Formed in 2004 by brothers Chris Knight (vocals/rhythm guitar) and Kevin Knight (bass), the band has performed more than 500 shows across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, earning a reputation as a must-see act for Metallica fans of every generation.​In a distinction unmatched by most tribute acts, Damage Inc has been invited by Metallica to tour with the band on numerous occasions as part of their “Weekend Takeover” and “Life Burns Faster” events. Including: two weekends at Voltaire in The Venetian Resort Las Vegas headlining the Official Metallica after parties; Metallica’s 2025 San Francisco Weekend Takeover; the 2023 M72 World Tour Weekend Takeover’s “…And Tributes for All” events, performing every Saturday throughout the North American run; and their Night In-Between event during the band’s 40th Anniversary Weekend Takeover in San Francisco in 2021.
