The riff where it chugs between Bb and B before F# and F is probably my favourite.

"Battery" is a song by the American heavy metal band Metallica, and serves as the opening track to the band's third studio album, Master of Puppets.
In 2021, Eli Enis of Revolver included the song in his list of the "15 Greatest Album-Opening Songs in Metal".
The song is composed in the key of E minor. It has a similar structure to "Fight Fire with Fire", the opening track of Metallica's previous album, Ride the Lightning (1984). The song begins with an acoustic guitar chord progression, overlayed with a simple melody on a second acoustic guitar. After several bars, the instrumentation abruptly crescendos to distorted electric guitars, along with the entrance of drums and bass guitar, continuing the chord progression and melody from the acoustic intro. This motif continues for several more bars until it transitions into a very fast thrash metal riff, which is the base for the rest of the song.
James Hetfield improvised the main riff to the song while relaxing in London.
