Classical Composer reaction/analysis to METALLICA: Fade to Black | The Daily Doug (Episode 652)

#metallica #fadetoblack

🚨TRIGGER WARNING: The song's thematic material is dark, including a discussion of suicide.

In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm returning to some classic Metallica with their ballad Fade to Black from Ride the Lightning. I realized that, of course, I've heard this socially, but I've never given it a proper listen. And, I was impressed with their modulations and nuanced compositional layering.
