The song was written by Dave Mustaine. He made it for Metallica, a band that he was in. After Metallica fired Mustaine, he told the band to not use any of the music that he made, including "Mechanix".[3][4] Metallica rewrote the song, and named it "The Four Horsemen". They put it on their first album, Kill 'Em All, in 1983.[5]
