The story behind

Metallica wrote Metal Militia as the last song of their first album, Kill 'Em All. The idea is that a sort of militia, formed by all the fans of heavy metal, rises against the world. The lyrics are based on a metaphor: music as a movement, a force that does not stop. The song lasts six minutes and a half, and on Last.fm it has over a million plays. It is a piece that reflects the passion of the followers, but also the power of what is listened to. ↓ Skip to chords
