James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich participated in the song's music composition alongside Jason Newsted, who was featured on the album as the band's new bassist. In fact, it was his idea of the last bass riff that can be seen in the song.
The lyrics of "Blackened" tell us about the ravages that man has wrought on "Mother Earth", with its excessive acts of consumerism and industrialization. To this is added an apocalyptic vision of self-destruction of man. This theme was specially composed for this album, beginning (like Battery and Fight Fire with Fire) with a smooth introduction (which is reversed on the album) leading to a heavier and faster riff, culminating abruptly to give step to the song ... And Justice for All.
The band's record label is called "Blackened" in reference to this song.
The song was parodied by the band Beatallica combined with the song Back in the U.S.S.R. from The Beatles which was called Blackened In The U.S.S.R.
Metallica - Blackened
My Voice Cover
Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity
Death of mother earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's end
Never will it mend never
Fire to begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened
Blistering of earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have been
Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore never
Fire to begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened
Blackened
Opposition, contradiction premonition compromise
Agitation violation mutilation, planet dies
Darkest color
Blistered earth
True death of life
Termination, expiration, cancellation, human race
Expectation, liberation, population, lay to waste
See our mother put to death
See our mother die
Smoldering decay
Take her breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears
Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun never
Fire to begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Fire is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest potency
In the exit of humanity
Color our world blackened
Blackened
