I don't dissect things for their chord progressions. To me, it's like starring at at a painting from an inch away.
From a listeners ear, and the way that Metallica utilize repetitions is far closer to what I've heard of Bach, albeit it's distanced from both. Actually, Beethoven would be an even closer comparison as both Metallica and Beethoven focus on establishing a powerful melody, and then through repetitions establish a relationship with the listener by it.
Bartok tended to be very sparse and varied with his melodies. Often all over the place, where as Metallica tend to play melodies for more prolonged time allowing them to establish themselves before building to the next.
