"Phantom Lord" is the seventh track on Metallica's 1983 album Kill 'Em All. It is written about the war cry of a mythical creature. The track was included on the band's first demo, "No Life 'Til Leather". It is the first Metallica song to include clean melodic guitars into its structure.
The lyrics deal with a mythical battle between heavy metal beasts. The band would often dedicate this song to members of the audience who "were bumping heads and getting their heads bumped too" during their early concerts.
James Hetfield's third band before Metallica was called Phantom Lord.
This was used as professional wrestler Mike Awesome's entrance music when he was in Extreme Championship Wrestling.
