{{main|Creeping Death}}
The 1984 [[thrash metal]] song "[[Creeping Death]]", recorded by [[Metallica]], references the angel of death, among other religious symbols.
Written from the perspective of the Angel of Death, "Creeping Death" describes the [[Plagues of Egypt#10. Death of firstborn (מַכַּת בְּכוֹרוֹת): Ex. 11:1–12:36|tenth plague of Egypt]]. It is often thought of as one of the band’s most popular songs and is currently the second-most-played song live by them. It is described by the writer [[Tom King (writer)|Tom King]] as "a tale of righteous Biblical rage and devastation straight out of the Book of Revelations".<ref>{{cite book|chapter=Creeping Death|last=King|first=Tom|author-link=Tom King (writer)|year=2012|title=Metallica – Uncensored On the Record|publisher=Coda Books Ltd|isbn=978-1908538550}}</ref> === Books ===
