[2] The band first performed this song in Birmingham, UK, on March 25, 2009, during their World Magnetic Tour.

"[4] The name of its parent album is derived from its lyric, "Death magnetic, pulling closer still."

Lars Ulrich said, "We've been enjoying playing 'My Apocalypse' out here on the road but felt like it could use something extra.

We decided that it needed a cool intro to set the mood so James wrote one.
