Enter Sandman - Metallica - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Metallica struck fear into our hearts with 1991 epic "Enter Sandman," playing on childhood fears of the song's mythical titular creature and elevating the band's status to bona fide global hard rock heroes. "Say your prayers, little one, don't forget, my son / To include everyone / I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin / 'Til the Sandman, he comes," reassures James Hetfield in the track's opening verse. With music written by the band's Kirk Hammett and Lars Ulrich as well as James Hetfield, the nightmare-inducing slab of classic rock, "Enter Sandman" was built around Kirk Hammett's hair-raising riff and helped Metallica climb to the peak of commercial success with their self-titled fifth album, also known as The Black Album, selling over a million copies. "Enter Sandman" possessed crossover viability, becoming a radio hit and a firm fan favorite and is considered one of Metallica's signature, it not the signature hit.
