I didn't know this was a big revelation; we learned about this in music school (I used to be a semi-professional drummer back in the days) around 1992/93-ish.
A lot of bands do this kind of "crazy stuff", though, not just Metallica, and it was almost a signature thing "back in the days."
One of my other favorites in newer times is Iron Maiden's quite dramatic "rhythm reversal" or "step-back" in Sign of the Cross.[0]
