"Creeping Death" is a song by Metallica and is the seventh track on their album Ride the Lightning. It is written from the point of view of the Plague of the Firstborn (Ex. 12. 29), that is, the Destroyer. The song is 6 minutes and 36 seconds long. "Creeping Death" is also one of Metallica's most frequently played songs, and stands as a classic example of the band's thrash style, albeit slower than the Kill 'Em All material. The middle section, based around ominous chants of "Die!" set to a perilous phrygian-mode chord progression, is a fan participation staple during Metallica shows.

Metallica was inspired for the song by the second half of the movie The Ten Commandments, which is based upon the Bible tale of the plagues which were bestowed upon the Egyptians. When they watched the movie, Cliff Burton remarked "Whoa - it's like creeping death," a phrase which the other members took a liking to, so they put it as the song title.[1] The Ten Commandments is a 1956 motion picture dramatizing the Biblical story of Moses, an Egyptian prince-turned deliverer of the Hebrew slaves. ...


Throughout the song, there is mention of more of the ten plagues. In the second verse, four of the ten plagues are mentioned:

Blood, Running red and strong, down the Nile (The first of the ten, water turned to blood)
Plague (This line might refer to the 5th plague, disease of livestock)
Darkness three days long, (The ninth of the ten, the sun was blocked for three days)
hail to fire (The seventh of the ten, burning hail fell from the sky).

Burton can be heard roaring the backing vocals during the third chorus, as well as during the bridge. When Jason Newsted joined the band, he often sang the third chorus alone in live performances, as well as the first word of every line..
