"The Unnamed Feeling" is the third single by heavy metal band Metallica to be taken from their 2003 album St. Anger. The song is about an unnamed feeling (anxiety, according to Hetfield) a person feels when they're close to the edge of losing control, just before he or she panics.
Along with a music video, the song was released as a single exclusively to Australia. It was released as part of an E.P. in The UK. The unique video, directed by The Malloys, featured the band performing in a virtually empty room that gradually closed in on them throughout the song. This was accompanied by visual stories of several people all experiencing that "unnamed feeling" in their own way.
Cover art for the CD single was chosen through a contest where fans could submit their own original artwork. The winning piece was an isolated illustration of a black heart roughly outlined in white with a black background (although the front cover is the "Monster" from their other St. Anger single, Some Kind of Monster).
Post-grunge band Nickelback have been criticized by some people over the fact that the intro to their song "Throw Yourself Away" from their 2003 album The Long Road is almost identical to that of "The Unnamed Feeling".
