The Thing That Should No Be is the third track off Metallica’s 1986 album Master of Puppets.

The song, keeping the general control theme of the album, discusses the story of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft, with Cthulhu being the focus of the song and documenting his control over his follows. The song also takes lyrical inspiration from lines in Lovecraft’s book Necronomicon. Musically the song is a marked contrast from the rest of the songs on the album, being slower and having a subdued intensity.

I decided to re-do a video I already had up. Less mistakes, less down-tuning.

This was recorded around 2AM, so, if you can't hear anything, I'm sorry your speakers are pieces of shit. Not my fault…
