Metallica - All Nightmare Long (Disc 2) [Single]

"All Nightmare Long" was Metallica's fifth single from their 2008 album Death Magnetic. The live tracks were recorded at the O2 World in Berlin at the Death Magnetic release party September of that same year.


In an interview, vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield commented on the song's lyrical meaning:

"It was an attempt to get back to the H.P. Lovecraft mythos with "Thing that Should Not Be", "Call of Ktulu". This was about the Hounds of Tindalos, which was another crazy mindfuck about these wolves that hunt through their nightmares and the only way you can get away from them is stay with angels. You can't even escape through sleep."
