About This Track

“Seek & Destroy” is the ninth track on the album “Kill ‘Em All”. The song has been frequently played in concerts over the years since its live debut in 1982 and has been Metallica’s closing song since the Madly in Anger with the World Tour. Seek & Destroy has become a fan favorite and has been played at virtually every Metallica concert since the band’s inception. It is sometimes played as a closing number for their live performances, with Hetfield often asking the audience to sing along with him; he shouts “Searching,” and they shout “Seek and destroy!”

The song has been covered by Chuck Billy, Jake E. Lee, Jimmy Bain, and Aynsley Dunbar for the album Metallic Assault: A Tribute to Metallica. The song has also been covered by thrash metal band Testament, Bludvera and Acid Drinkers and instrumentally by Freaklabel as part of a tribute medley. Malaysian death metal band, Sil Khannaz also cover this song on their tribute album, The Best Of Sil Khannaz. Apocalyptica, and previously Pantera, covered it live. Seek & Destroy is a perfect example of Metallica’s influence in the Thrash scene.

    said to be heavily influenced by the Diamond Head song "Dead Reckoning". The first three mini solos are derived from the song "Princess of the Night" by Saxon

    The 18 minute version from Live Shit Binge & Purge. Hetfield: Jason, impress the fuck out of us. Jason Newsted: *silence* Hetfield: I'm impressed.... Makes me laugh every time.

    Please mark: Metallica – Seek & Destroy as a correct name. It will helps us to eliminate wrong name: Metallica – Seek and Destroy. The same situation is with Broken, Beat & Scarred. Thank you for your support !
