32 - Metallica Creeping Death 1984

Many fans claim this is Metallica´s best song, it is a powerful cut taken from Ride the Lightning, an excellent and unique album full of great compositions. "Creeping death" is a great mixture of minor & middle eastern "Quartet" scale. This one's actually based on a "Thora" story which is about Ramsis II's son being murdered by the "Angel of death"(aka.Creeping death). Jame's singing and rhythm guitar, Kirk's wicked solo and lead pull off's at the end, Cliff's bass and Lar's thunderous drumming make this song is one of the album's highest moments.
