The Thing That Should Not Be (Remastered)

Fun Fact: The Thing That Should Not Be is heavily regarded as the heaviest song in Metallica’s catalogue by many people and they aren’t wrong either

one of heavy metal's most underrated gems

Man that outro groove at 5:47....bone crushing heaviness

3:50 The most metal harmony ever!

This thing should be everywhere

THE heaviest number known to mankind 🤘🤘

This is why I love people who love heavy metal. You have all said everything I wanted to say. I. Always one with this crowd. Metallica wasn't just something we loved. It was something we needed. We needed the aggression and the powerful feeling this music gave us. We had troubled at times growing up and it just helped. I love it always.

LYRICS: Messenger of fear in sight Dark deception kills the light Hybrid children watch the sea Pray for father, roaming free Fearless wretch Insanity He watches Lurking beneath the sea Great old one Forbidden site He searches Hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal In madness you dwell Crawling chaos, underground Cult has summoned, twisted sound Out from ruins once possessed Fallen city, living death Fearless wretch Insanity He watches Lurking beneath the sea Timeless sleep Has been upset He awakens Hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal In madness you dwell In madness you dwell Not dead which eternal lie Stranger eons death may die Drain you of your sanity Face the thing that should not be Fearless wretch Insanity He watches Lurking beneath the sea Great old one Forbidden site He searches Hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal In madness you dwell

I heard Kirk in an interview that he had a flight to catch and only left with one hour to record the solo, this is what came out. I don’t think any other solo would do justice.

Apocalyptic Lovecraft Masterpiece.👽🤘👽

"Hybrid children watch the sea, pray for father roaming free" gets me every time. It's the sound of Cthulhu coming up from the depths 🤘

That opening riff is bonechilling 🤟🤟🤟🤟

Most underrated Metallica song ever this is good

The most underrated Metallica song Edit: Sorry I forgot to add, this is my opinion, if you disagree that's all good

One of my favorite Metallica songs ever and one of their most powerful, that heavy main riff, the solo, the fading outro, it's just perfection!

hands down my favorite master of puppets / metallica / metal song

No album fillers here! Just pure magnificent art!

Best Master of Puppets song, hands down

This is one of the songs that reminded me of mother. "Drain you of your sanity. Face the thing that should not be. "

Love this intro so much. Hits hard. Top candidate as Metallica's most underrated song. Just kicks ass in every way.
