If I’m understanding you right, then that song would be “Wherever I May Roam”.
It’s called creeping death
Creeping Death” is a song by the band Metallica and is the seventh track on their 1984 album Ride the Lightning. Written from the perspective of the Angel of Death, it describes the Plague of the Firstborn (Exodus 12:29). “Creeping Death” is 6 minutes and 36 seconds long and is also Metallica’s most frequently played song, having been played over 1,100 times since 1984, more than any other Metallica song.[1] It stands as a classic example of the band’s thrash style, albeit slower than the material on their first album, Kill ‘Em All. The song’s middle section, based around ominous chants of “Die!” set to a phrygian-mode chord progression, is a fan participation staple during Metallica shows.
It was released as a single in 1984 on the Music for Nations label in the UK and France. The B-sides were the cover songs “Am I Evil?” (originally by Diamond Head) and “Blitzkrieg” (originally by Blitzkrieg). Together these covers were known as Garage Days Revisited, which set the stage for Metallica’s next cover record, the Garage Days Re-Revisited EP.
It might be” Where Ever I may Roam”
The song is called “Wherever I Roam” and its badass.
