The Call Of Ktulu

This is the eight track of Metallica's album Ride The Lightning. The song is instrumental so there is no vocals on the entire song. It is also one of the longest Metallica songs I know, it lasts 8 minutes and 52 seconds. The first time I heard it was few days ago when I just randomly listened different Metallica songs and when I heard the intro of this song I were in love.

The song begins with a acoustic guitar riff, which lasts almost two minutes. Then the distortion guitars come in and the song "begins". I also love the bass and drums in it, because they adapt to the guitars and all together they make pretty epic and melodic sound. And the most awesome thing in the whole song is the second guitar, which solos for few minutes straight and then makes some fills between "silence" parts.

The last thing to mention is that the song actually sounds so epic that it could be the song for calling the Cthulhu.
Cthulhu is a mythical creature that was first introduced in a short story called "The call of Cthulhu" in a book called Weird Tales by H. P. Lovecraft. Cthulhu is pictured as a seamonster, bigger than houses and it has tentacles.
This is how Cthulhu is often pictured as. I think it looks badass :)
So in conclusion I'd rate the song 6 out of 5 for it's pure epicness  and awesome sound.

For you guys here is the song :)
