Metallica Releases Pro-Shot Video Of ‘Creeping Death’ Performance In Syracuse

Metallica has released professionally filmed footage of their blistering performance of “Creeping Death” from the band’s April 19, 2025 concert at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York. The video captures the thrash legends in top form as they opened their first show of the year with one of their most iconic live staples.

01. Creeping Death
