This interlude is probably the closest that this album comes to something that would serve the same calm and beautiful purpose as songs such as "Fade To Black" and "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", although this interlude has more of a demonic and haunting vibe, rather than a poignant and moving vibe.
@@horusmusica8079 I am not sure how much that Dave Mustaine contributed to "Phantom Lord", however I do know that he was the sole composer of "The Mechanix" and the original version of "Jump In The Fire". I am also pretty sure that he wrote the D-minor riff in "The Call Of Ktulu", since he reused that exact same chord structure in "Hangar 18".
Its likely you probably have already, but the show that Metallica did and brought mustaine on to the stage with them after how many years and they play this song- when they were playing this interlude together in unison its fucking badass..... Dave gets the happy ending that he deserved honestly
They play this part during their first live show in Chicago with Kirk Hammett in 1983. You can watch that entire show if you search for the video "Metallica Live At The Metro 1983 (Full Concert) ".
It always makes me think if an army of spectral skeletons, demons, or men that have been warped by chaotic or otherwise fundamental or powerful energies. Men that can only destroy, and are immortal to achieve this effect. Men who feel nothing, aside from the deep and mindless compulsion to destroy as much as they can
@@captaintraction4024 yeaaaah, as much as i hate to admit it, back when i played in bands, i got some sick riffs and we did a song in one band, only to turn out they where kinda shit people after all so I used that riff in another band once again. nobody will ever notice in my case as both these bands were complete flops.
@@Peter_1986 omg dude! I literally scream with him in the end of the song. Really shows how much power James’s young voice had. So much aggression and it even sounds like the perfect metal scream literally. James Herfiels’s voice is perfect for heavy metal. Especially back then
This is probably the closest that this album came to a ballad type of sound; it serves kind of as the "beautiful" part of that album, a little bit like "Fade To Black" and "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", although not quite to that degree, of course, but basically the same kind of vibe.
I think that this part was added later to this song, since the "No Life 'Til Leather" demo version from 1982 doesn't have it. Or maybe they skipped it because they were more in a "fast mood" that time or something.
Bro if they made a riff out of this for the full song it would totally have been my favourite song on the album and probably in my top 10 favourite Metallica songs. I know they made it the typical Kill Em All style riff but this would be so different and an ominous riff, fitting for the name of the song
Metallica is one of those bands that any fan has valid reasons to love (Riffs, solos, mystique, songwriting, lyrics, speed, heaviness, harmonic guitars, rhythm solidness). Mine is, essencially, this unmistakable form of putting melodic elements and turn they heavy and remarkable, and this was the first perfect example of it. Listening to this loop, make us to think "The riff could be a great song by itself". And without any drop of heaviness and originality. As a musician (And a not a Rock/Metal composer anymore), it's still as one of my main influences, and as a fan, kinda gives some root vibes in terms of creation and notion of music.
In my opinion you just described exactly what heavy metal is. Everybody seems to think these days that it's all about the harsh, brutal aspects of it. Screaming growling, all this whack shit just to sound more extreme than the last. But they've missed the point completely. The reason why the old school shit still sounds SO heavy with hardly any distortion at all sometimes, is simply because it's not JUST about the harsh, brutal extremes, but the serene, and eloquent too. It's DYNAMICS. 🤘🏼✌🏼
Just search phantom lord and it will show up It’s only a segment of the song on repeat not the whole song so just search whole song and you should get it bro
Unexpectedly good part to an otherwise bland and mediocre album. Really reminds me of the sound on ride the lightning they would incorporate later that was significantly better than the edgy thrash sound on this album.
Just because you've listened to it so much doesn't make it bland or mediocre dude. Take a break from listening to metal for a while and then listen to it and I can assure that you will be wondering what the hell you were thinking.
@9CKR7 I'm not a brainless idiot who listens for the 'vibe' so your methodology won't work on me. The album sounds so similar I genuinely can't tell most of the songs apart and abuses the typical thrash trope of the time to the point almost every song on the album is a carbon copy of the formula. Phantom lord is the only song I would put above this as it tries something different but compared to master of puppets this album is horrible...
_The sounds of Armageddon_
If it's true, then it won't be that bad
The destruction of citys bodies being mutilated and consumed for survival
Honestly the interlude is the only reason I love the song so much. Other than that its pretty standard kill em all Metallica
This why mustaine was such a key member in the foundation of that band
@@horusmusica8079 what he said
Same

I wish that interlude were longer on the original song. It's pretty badass
It’s like something you would hear when the main characters life flashes before their eyes or they are about to die
I love this part it’s safe to say that first time listeners would be caught offguard from this part.
this just happened like 10 minutes ago
Honestly I wish that this was the main riff to the song cause this is very very epic
Nonsense! That is the very reason why it is epic my friend... it is an unexpected turn from the main theme of the song. It is a diamond in the rough
@@9ckr716 yeah pretty much
I've looped this extended loop for infinity.
Great job! I have waited decades for someone to come up with this. Very disappointed Metallica does not play this part live hardly ever.
Its likely you probably have already, but the show that Metallica did and brought mustaine on to the stage with them after how many years and they play this song- when they were playing this interlude together in unison its fucking badass..... Dave gets the happy ending that he deserved honestly
My point was that you can watch on yt here

".
@@Peter_1986 lol i just came from there. thats why im here
I love this interlude so much, I listen to it all day, I never get tired of this wonder.
BEST INTTERLUDE TO BE EVER MADE!!!!
The end of time
This is the part that I think makes this song so special
It always makes me think if an army of spectral skeletons, demons, or men that have been warped by chaotic or otherwise fundamental or powerful energies.
Men that can only destroy, and are immortal to achieve this effect. Men who feel nothing, aside from the deep and mindless compulsion to destroy as much as they can
I always hear the ending part to "This Was My Life" Megadeth in this section
It's almost like dave mustaine wrote both of these riffs 😂
But yes, they do sound very similar
For sure.

Also sounds somewhat like Ktulus intro
Literally the best part of the song hands down and no one can say otherwise. Truely a fucking badass riff and i love playing it. Thank you for this.
The best part of the song! This is just absolutely badass! I love it!
Prime example of why Mustaine has been noted as ' _The Chief Architect of Armageddon_ ' ...
It literally sounds like the end of the world
@@9ckr716 right on my friend
Another part that I like about this song is the way James screams at the end;
that is one of the most epic metal screams I have ever heard.

Thank you too much .. it is that what i want only listen this interlude
Thanks bro, this video deserves 1 million views! 🇧🇷
If I learned that 1 million people clicked on this and jammed to it I would be so hyped that I'm not the only one obsessed with this interlude lmao
THIS WAS MY LIFE
I fucking love this interlude

Do you have the full version of this with the interlude?
Just search phantom lord and it will show up
It’s only a segment of the song on repeat not the whole song so just search whole song and you should get it bro
I FUCKING LOVE THIS PART!!!
A C E N D E D
Sounds like Megadeth...
Reminds me of Old school Dimmu Borgir’s interludes
awesome
Badass
Looks like "This Was My Life", after the acoustic part, in a way...
Phantom Lord = Fade To Black
4 horseman
Mustaine *MADE* this album
Ha ha ha
This is just fade to black before fade to black
Is should fade the song out like this
Helping Hands 2019 - Disposable Heroes 5:01
Totally sound like Megadeth Badass Dave Mustaine
this part always reminded me of playing old school doom for some reason. sounds like it wouldve been one of the good rip offs if it was in it.
To me it sounds like music that would be playing when someone’s about to die
Only good part of the song but it’s goated
Unexpectedly good part to an otherwise bland and mediocre album. Really reminds me of the sound on ride the lightning they would incorporate later that was significantly better than the edgy thrash sound on this album.
