"Orion" is an instrumental song by American heavy metal band Metallica from their third studio album, Master of Puppets, released on March 3, 1986, by Elektra Records. There, the song features as track seven. "Orion" was written primarily by bassist Cliff Burton. The song was named after the constellation of the same name, Orion, due to its "spacey sounding" bridge. On September 27, 1986, while touring in 1986 to support Master of Puppets, the band's tour bus crashed, killing Burton. "Orion" was played over speakers during his funeral. After his death, Metallica frontman James Hetfield had the notes from the bridge of the song tattooed on his left arm.
