Listen To A Fake Metallica Song Created Using Artificial Intelligence

While it remains to be seen if a new Metallica album will arrive after the coronavirus pandemic as drummer Lars Ulrich previously suggested, the next best thing is already here: a fake ’Tallica song created using artificial intelligence.

You may remember last month when satirist Funk Turkey formed the perfect AC/DC jam, Great Balls, and now they're using the exact same technique for the California metal legends: by using lyrics.rip to generate the words, but with their own (pretty spot-on) instrumentation and James Hetfield impersonation.

The final result is Deliverance Rides, featuring a triumphant chorus of, 'Death! Deliverance rides! / Yeah-yeah, no!' and even one particularly standout phrase of, 'I'm the sun / I'm insane,' which seemingly harks back to Papa Het's iconic claim that 'I am the table' in one of the band's Lou Reed collaborations, The View.

Check out the full lyrics to Deliverance Rides below:

Beaten down and destroy
Dead sure she'll never you betray
Hell is the one who waits for you
Now I roam the world all alone

Bound by leather steeds they ride
Crown yourself the world and tired
Dying, the one who waits for you
No, there’s no longer cares

I’m the sun, I’m insane
Yes she’ll never love
Never me, so let it be
Obey your eyes

Death! Deliverance rides!
Yeah-yeah, no!

Bound by minutes seemed like hours
Killing scores with the flame
Behind the pages turn the door
Die as you live in vanity

Curses rest on our brains
No, there’s an evil feeling in vain
I can’t believe I stand alone
Beast under wicked sky

I’m the sun, I’m insane
Yes she’ll never love
Never me, so let it be
Obey your eyes

Death! Deliverance rides!
Yeah!

Hold the door should I wish for death
The price all you say
Die as you be there when I’m the sun
Assuring me all eternity
I can’t believe the death of day
The dark of wretched pain
Where I see the one thousand deaths
Never free in vain

I’m the sun, I’m insane
Yes, she’ll never love
Never me, so let it be
Obey your eyes

Death! Deliverance rides!
Hey, hey!
