Run Silent Run Deep

Written By Grace Zulynik

Artist: Raven

Album: All For One (1983)

Why Its Great: This song contains one of the most flawless metal pre-choruses ever created. The freight-train-chugging on the strings pauses for just a second to let the drums in before they all crash back together behind the vocal and it’s glorious.

Best Listened To: With an appreciation for just how early this one was released in the speed-metal cannon.

Key Lyric: Run silent, run deep/Destructor below
