Orion - Master of Puppets

Provided to YouTube by Blackened RecordingsOrion (Remastered) · Metallica Master Of Puppets℗ 1986

My favorite Metallica piece by far, and an testament to the late, great Clliff Burton's genius:

Orion is a multipart instrumental highlighting Burton's bass playing. It opens with a fade-in bass section, heavily processed to resemble an orchestra. It continues with mid-tempo riffing, followed by a bass riff at half-tempo. The tempo accelerates during the latter part, and ends with music fading out. Burton arranged the middle section, which features its moody bass line and multipart guitar harmonies.
