"The Unforgiven II" is a song performed by Metallica. It was written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammett and appears on the album ReLoad as a sequel to "The Unforgiven" (which appears on the album Metallica). Both songs have similar musical themes. They both start with the horn taken from For a Few Dollars More. The chord progression during the verses is strikingly similar to the one used in the chorus on "The Unforgiven", as well as the verses in "Fade to Black". The intro is also similar to that of Iron Maiden's "Children of the Damned". However, it has a heavy chorus and a soft verse, unlike its predecessor, which used the opposite, and thus, similar to Metallica's previous ballads. Over a decade later, the song was followed by a second sequel, "The Unforgiven III", from the album Death Magnetic.
