Hate Train
Metallica · Beyond Magnetic [2011]
That Thunders Aimless Through My Head
And Hate Is The Fame
Chained To The Wheel Until I'm Dead
Rage Is A Flame
Creates A Touch To Boil The Seas
And Rage Is To Blame
Forever Sorry I Shall Be
And From A Darkness I Descend
Clenching A Torch Of Sweet Revenge
You Took Away Tomorrow, Still I Stand
I Ride Into The Sorrow, Still I Stand
You Took Away Tomorrow, Still I Stand
Straight Down Into The Sorrow, But Still I Stand
Wrath Is The Name
Branding Suffer Onto You
And Wrath Takes The Shame
And Holds Me Down Until Its Through
And From A Darkness I Descend
Clenching A Torch Of Sweet Revenge
You Took Away Tomorrow, Still I Stand
I Ride Into The Sorrow, Still I Stand
You Took Away Tomorrow, Still I Stand
I Sink Into The Sorrow, But Still I Stand
And Hate Is A Train
A Beast Awakened By Your Call
And Hate Is A Train
A Beast That Never Slows At All
And From A Darkness I Descend
Clenching A Torch Of Sweet Revenge
Burst Into Flame, The Bitter End
And Shake The Gates Of Hell Again
I'm Left To Drown In Sorrow...
You Took Away Tomorrow, Still I Stand
I Ride Into The Sorrow, Still I Stand
You Took Away Tomorrow, Still I Stand
You Left Me Here With Sorrow, Still I Stand
About Hate Train
"Hate Train" stands as a defining track from Metallica's 2011 album *Beyond Magnetic*, marking a significant return to the band's thrash metal roots after a decade of progressive experimentation. Released during the *Beyond Magnetic* era, the song features the band's signature four-part vocal harmony, a hallmark of their earlier work that had largely been abandoned in favor of a more melodic, radio-friendly approach. The recording captures the raw energy and technical precision characteristic of the group's classic period, blending high-speed riffing with the powerful, layered vocals that define their sound. This track serves as a nostalgic bridge, connecting the modern lineup to the legacy established on albums like *Ride The Lightning* and *...And Justice For All*. It demonstrates Metallica's ability to reintegrate their foundational elements while maintaining their status as a leading force in heavy metal. The composition reflects a deliberate effort to honor their history, offering fans a glimpse of the aggressive, fast-paced style that made them global icons in the 1980s and 1990s.
