This Track Got Buried on Master of Puppets

It’s one of the heaviest songs on Master of Puppets, and somehow it’s been almost completely overlooked.
This one dives into a track that Metallica barely played live for decades—but it grooves harder, hits lyrically sharper, and cuts deeper than most of their catalog. The riffs are weird. The message is brutal. And the story behind it? Way more personal than you might think.

If you’ve ever felt like this album had more layers than people give it credit for—this is one of them.
