"Am I Evil?" is a song by Diamond Head Diamond Head was a British Heavy Metal band that was a big influence on Metallica, who recorded this song in 1984. Anger and paranoia are common themes for both Metallica and Diamond Head, and this song has plenty of both: it's about a guy who seeks revenge and wonders if he is evil after his mother is burned for witchcraft. While Metallica got all the fame from covering this song when they released it as a B-Side to their "Creeping Death" single (and later on their Garage, Inc. album), Diamond Head has stated that they're flattered by the cover and the money they've earned from royalties paid by Metallica has played a role in keeping the band going.

The intro is based on a piece by British composer Gustav Holst called "The Planets." The piece has 7 movements, each named for a planet, and the intro to "Am I Evil?" comes from the "Mars," which is the first movement.
