Orion

About Orion

“Orion” is the 7th track off of Metallica’s 3rd studio album, “Master of Puppets”. It was named after the star constellation, Orion, due to the song’s spacey sounding bridge. It was written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Cliff Burton. The song is more progressive than the band’s previous work. There are three main parts of the song: the heavy beginning, the spacey interlude, and the ending recapitulation that brings back the heaviness. .
