Seek & Destroy

Metallica

Seek & Destroy is a rock pick by Metallica, best approached as its own performance. This is a deeper cut for listeners who know Metallica well. Treat it as a performance piece, not a guaranteed group singalong.

Useful detail

Performance tip

Seek & Destroy needs one clear preparation choice: use the short lines deliberately; clean releases will keep them from sounding disconnected. Use the original recording of Seek & Destroy to mark exactly where that change happens.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With Seek & Destroy, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has a heavily repeated refrain and room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
