Today's Instrumental Metal Track is brought to you by Metallica. This is the closing track on their 1984 album, Ride the Lightning. Hard to believe this album will be 30 years old next year.
The title is based upon H. P. Lovecraft's book The Shadow Over Innsmouth. Cliff Burton was a big fan of Lovecraft and introduced it to the rest of the band. "Ktulu" was originally spelled "Cthulhu".
RIP Cliff
Exploring Heavy Metal and all its glory. Heavy Metal is often misunderstood and thought to be just a bunch of guys banging and screaming when in fact it can be extremely thoughtful, intelligent, and sincere. Expect some throw-down-head-banging, chill mood metal, and gloomy death metal that you're probably not going to hear on the radio. On the weekends we'll mix things up with a Weekend Wildcard and an Easy Like Sunday Morning Track to get you over your hangover!
