  • @Southernburrito Pitch Black kicks ass...But who's Yul Brynner?

  • Comment removed

  • You are so fucking creative, couldn't have gone better with the song.

  • so metal \m/

  • Awesome video. ! Also, if anyone thinks there's a debate about if this song is about "The Ten Commandments", or the book of Exodus in the Old Testament, consider the line "so let it be written/ so let it be done". That's complete (classic) Yul Brenner as Ramses! I don' t even think there is a Ramses in Exodus...

  • Needs moar "motherfucker, yeah !".

  • hey everyone would think that makin´ a song bout the bible its boring but the bible has some pretty bloody trashing storys,i mean...i like to read the bible and i dont even belive in god

    epic shit man!

  • the 'Die' chant gives me goosebumps every time.

  • Metallica is the fucking sex.

  • They got the name from the movie after Metallica watched it Cliff said Woah its like creeping death it says it on this website called song meanings is tells you everything about the song and how it was made and everything

  • legendaria banda, legado ke nos hereda musikalmente...larga vida...vida...vida!

  • epic thats all

  • Good job! I always envisioned these scenes when I heard the song. I'm glad someone actually went and made it into a video.

  • 3:38 -4:29 FTW!

  • Wow! Gread vid.

  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

  • jamming lagu ni mmg bias gler

  • This song always rings though my head during church.

  • gud job...love the vid..very nice hahah..this should be the exact vid for this shit :)

  • this song was inspired by the story of exodus not the movie

  • @Senorize fair enough. Nice hair-splitting there by the way. I might still be right though. I'll guess that the Metallica boys are more likely to have watched the movie rather than read the Bible.

  • @TexDad1971 they were inspired by the movie.

    its on info on Guitar Hero Metallica.

  • @TexDad1971

    I'd say your guess would be right except that James was brought up in a strict Christian Scientist household. No doctors even!

  • @TexDad1971 I'm pretty sure this was inspired by the book as well. Wasn't "For Whom the Bell Tolls" based off of a book as well? I'm gonna rule this one as a don't judge a book by it's cover scenario. I have a few friends that actually read a LOT that you wouldn't expect. By looking at them you honestly wouldn't be able to tell they can even read. My pointless rant is over, it is almost time for me to clock out. Peace to the potatoes.

  • @tjthatomtom86 Yeah, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is book by Hemmingway. And "The Call of Ktulu" is based off a book or a couple of books and/or stories by H. P. Lovecraft. If I'm not mistaken "Where the Wild Things Are" might be based off of a book as well.

  • @TheQuigonjohn Where the wild things are is a children's book.

  • @tjthatomtom86 Potatoes are amazing. I like mine with a little butter and fresh rosemary. You should try it. Mmmm. Tatos.

  • @TexDad1971 The song was definitely written about the movie. It was cliff burton who actually said "its like creeping death" in regards to the angel of death in the movie. So no the song was about the movie not directly the the book of Exodus. Also the phrase "so let it be written, so let it be done" was never actually said in the bible(at least not my version) so that is more proof the song is based on the movie.

  • @TexDad1971

    in fact james hetfield was raised in a kinda evangelic family,his mother (of course she was sick) died because the church his family went didnt aproved medical cares

  • @TexDad1971 actualy if u wiki it it was inspired by the film

  • @TexDad1971 That's exactly what happened. Cliff was watching The Ten Commandments and wrote the basic "hook" of the song right there based on the music of the film.

  • @TexDad1971 Like I mentioned before, yes, that is what happened and it is obvious because "So let it be written, so let it be done" is not in Exodus, but Yul Brenner as Pharaoh said it several times in The Ten Commandments. No doubt about it - the movie inspired the song! So let it be written. So let it be done.

  • @TexDad1971 you are wrong my friend, james and lars have been quoted talking about how when they READ the story of the exodus they said "whoa, its like creeping death" and now we have an amazing song no matter what its origins are. and I would find it very likely that James has read the bible, He was raised as a christian scientist and has embraced catholicism recently. either way, long live metallica, it is the one thing that binds us lol.

  • @TexDad1971 Actually when this song was written James was reading the bible.

  • @TexDad1971 No not really, remember James Hetfield (SP) came from a christian background. Also everyone knows the story of Moses. Still a badass vid none the less.

  • @TexDad1971 I think both ways dudes, James' parents were very religious...

  • @TexDad1971 Obviously you haven't done your homework. James'mother was deeply religious and I am sure that this affected the young James' upbringing. Do you think that in religious family they watched films instead of reading the book?

  • @TexDad1971 yea right they are more likely watching a random movie than reading the most famous book ever written

    and splitting hairs you are compering a MOVIE based on the exodus chapter of the bible to the actual chapter itself

  • @TexDad1971 yeah, they have said they got the idea to write the song while they were watching the movie.

  • @TexDad1971  James Hetfield was raised in a strict Christian Science household.

  • It's a little bit of both. Others have said where the title came from, the Angel of Death scene in the movie. They also got the line "So let it be written, so let it be done" from the movie. Other details of the song they got from Exodus, as others have said earlier, James was raised in a strict Christian household and the other guys were raised in some Christian background or exposed to it. "The Four Horsemen" is another Bible song from Revelation, so Metallica did/does read the Bible ;)

  • @TexDad1971 *whispers* theyre both the same thing....

  • @TexDad1971

    James likes to read.

  • @TexDad1971 No way in HELL. James was highly christan and was born to an insanely christian family. I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't read the story of exodus more then once. Get your Metallica facts right.

  • @Senorize the refren ''so let be written so let be done'' is from this movie

  • @Senorize It's more the movie really than the the Bible. The key phrase "So let it be written, so let it be done" is all movie and not in Exodus. It's a mix of mostly movie.

  • @Senorize a couple of riffs were inspired from exodus the lyrics were inspired by the movie

  • @Senorize this movie is based off exodus dumbass

  • @spector1991 thanks captain obvious! what would I ever do without you?

  • @Senorize You are definitely wrong!! The movie inspired Cliff Burton. So let it be written! So let it be done!!

  • @vjreejr which was inspired by the bible :P

  • @Senorize Well, of course. That should be intuitively obvious to the most casual observer! ;)

  • @Senorize the song is inspired when they was seeing the movie and cliff say:

    Wow it's like a creeping death

    well that's what i've known

  • @Senorize nah they were watching this movie and in the plague bit Cliff went 'wow! it's like creeping death'

  • @Senorize actually it was the movie according to the band

  • @patgarrett5755 i know right appearently some one wont read XD

  • @Senorize wrong it was the ten commandments  i have the encyclopeida of metallica and it says that

  • @Senorize Exodus the 1980's heavy metal band?

  • @321boileranimal  No exodus as in the first book in the bible.

  • @skrooloose121 Exodus is the second book, Genesis is the first

  • @Blueduckgorrilla3 thats what I meant. im not a religious person..last time i picked up a bible I was probably 11 years old. thats been almost 20 years.

  • @skrooloose121 it's all good. And man, that's a long time

  • @Senorize in fact the title of the song come from Cliff burton who watch this movie !

  • @Senorize no no no,the band watched the ten commanments,and cliff said it was kinda like "creeping death" for example-darkness three days long is a commanment ment for three days of darkness,they watched this movie.thats how the song came to be

  • @Senorize its both the same. but its a movie about the story

  • No way, he thought in his friends from all over the world, as myself, from Mexico. Great vid, congrats!

  • great job!

  • the perfect video for this song!!

  • like fucking sick lol .... that is a kick arse song.. and the vid just makes it even better

  • fucking sick :) 

  • hey budy you have stole me the idea lol

  • the four people that gave thumbs down love justin bieber XD

  • that was such an amazing video!! the only reason i looked up this song was because i was looking on wikipedia about The Ten Commandments and saw that Metallica based a song off the movie. I love the movie so much and I thought this video was amazing. You put the scenes with the words and it made this such a perfect music video!!! and in the song at 3:45 the music sort of sounds like the music in the movie. but great video!!! I love this movie so much!! i have seen it probably 18-19 times!!!!!!!!

  • Great Vid, creeping death = passover! lol

  • bad ass song!!!

  • love this fucking song!!!!

  • thumbs up...

  • Awesome!! Absolutely awesome!!!

  • \m/ \m/

  • Great video. It's true it could be more intense with more scenes following the rhythm of the song but it's ok.

  • Amazing Video!

    I think I may do a similar music video, except played to the animated "Prince of Egypt" movie (I wouldn't want to rip off your brilliant idea)

  • Dude you should do one for The Four Horsemen.

  • A Russian playing an Egyptian! That shows how old this movie is! Great job.

  • You messed up some lyrics but great vid

  • @doomsayer9669 yeah I have messed up before but I fixed it. What lyrics have I got wrong now? ....and thanks by the way.

  • @TexDad1971 "Hark! I shall soon be there"

  • i wanna rip ur ass with a dvd!!

  • This is gold man

  • great work, this should be the oficial video of creeping death!!

  • @Mrwhitesurvivor hehe thanks for saying so. Tell James and Lars and the boys and see if they'll allow it.

  • like like like like like .....

  • I think the song was actually inspired by the Bible story, not this movie...

  • @mrjeebsisback

    the movie is based on the story of the bible dumbass. havent you ever read the bible??

    i yea i bet our a jew

  • @urielx17 I've read the entire Bible about 2 or 3 times. I'm an atheist. Don't question or judge me.

  • @mrjeebsisback 2 or 3 !!! god damn u like to read *cough fagot* fuckin lier

  • @MrAvenged77xx You're fucking criticizing me for reading? Really? That's how low you can go? Because I'm fucking educated and know my facts about things you think that's something to make fun of? Onto your next point, "fuckin lier" First of all neither of those are words. Second, I did not lie. I honestly have read it about 2 or 3 times. I don't have to take anything from someone who's name involves a poser emo band like A7X.

  • @mrjeebsisback xD I wasn't sure if you did thanks for confirming. Why would I make fun of the bible, and that you read I read to. Second, I called you a lier because nobody I ever met (online or person) has read it more than twice. Last, I can tell your not a real bible studier because you called A7x a poser emo band, in the bible it shows that everyone is created equally. Don't bother replying because im not responding anymore. †RIP† Jesus

  • @MrAvenged77xx I'm going to reply anyways because I did read the Bible a few times but I DON'T BELIEVE IT. I'M AN ATHEIST. That's why I called A7X an emo poser band because I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE'S MORALS (well except don't kill & stuff) I got the last word in I win JAJAJAJ! I'm gonna throw a party because of it!

  • @mrjeebsisback

    dude just shutup and enjoy the great music or get the fuck out of here, if you reply your gay and you like the jonas brothers

  • @urielx17 I very much am enjoying the music but just because I'm responding doesn't make me a homosexual or a Jonas Brothers fan. The biggest insult to a person that you can come up with is that they're gay? You must hate Judas Priest bro, you're missing out.

  • @mrjeebsisback

    theres no reason to bringing a great band like priest up in this because its you who mentioned it and is sad u said dat.

  • @mrjeebsisback Since it's pretty difficult to prove that over the internet I suggest you leave that to yourself.

  • Awesome man... keep'em coming and kill'em all!!

  • Comment removed

  • Good music vid +5 if they still had a rating system.

  • @stickydavis me two man!

  • May i ask you how you do that because i want make something like this but then with meta militia

  • @stevieray673 I just used Windows Movie Maker. Ripped the DVD to my harddrive and got the MP3 of the song, and picked the scenes in the movie and ran em in WMM over the song and there ya go. Good luck with your idea.

    You should also check out "Of wolf and man" with scenes from The Wolfman I just did recently. Gotta go. :-)

  • amazing video, i have only a small recomendation, do other with the same but including short scenes of metallica in concert, i believe this look incredible

    sorry for bad spanish

  • @ruchoso that's a good idea actually. Glad you liked it as it is tho.

  • Not bad!

  • awesome :)

  • WOW.....much better than the cartoon "Prince of Egypt" which is all my daughter had seen so far! I had NO IDEA that so many metalheads had NO IDEA what this was about .....SAMAEL, THE DESTROYER! .....real WRATH of GOD stuff....... BRAVO TEXDAD! now make MORE Illustrated Metal Classics, and help educate the IDIOT youth of our Great Republic.........

  • 2:40 ....is that an ancient Eqyptian newspaper?
