Battery is the opening track of Metallica's 1986 album Master of Puppets. Similar to the opening track from Ride the Lightning and ...And Justice for All (titled "Fight Fire With Fire" and "Blackened" respectively), "Battery" begins with a slow, clean guitar part which then explodes into full speed thrash.
