Metallica - The Thing That Should Not Be (Live in Seattle '89) | BEST CONCERT IN HISTORY?? *reacts*

[@Hieraldrich]

Grungy, dark, slow and nasty IS heavy tho, and all James growls and grunts add to it perfectly! This song is about Lovecraftian horrors, most likely Cthulu I think haha

Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and Dagon

Jason was right. Only Metallica could write song about an ancient, psychic, mythical sea monster and make it almost as terrifying as an ancient, psychotic, mythical sea monster.

It is slow, but it is heavy. Speed is not necessarily linked to heaviness, it's linked to aggressiveness. When the song is slower, we can feel its heaviness better, it's almost as if we could touch it.

Slow can be heavy Sometimes, slow chugs you can thrash to are more impactful than higher bpms

I always think James looks possessed at 5:45.
