"Fade To Black" is a song by thrash metal band Metallica from their second album, Ride the Lightning (1984). It was the first musical ballad released by the band.
Some people consider the lyrical theme to be about a person who has decided to commit suicide
The song has been covered by: Disturbed, on their live album Music As A Weapon II, but without the heavier second half of the song
