It was named after the star constellation, Orion, due to the song’s spacey sounding bridge. It was written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Cliff Burton. The song is more progressive than the band’s previous work.
There are three main parts of the song: the heavy beginning, the spacey interlude, and the ending recapitulation that brings back the heaviness. The song features four solos: the first one by James Hetfield, the second one by Kirk Hammett, the third, a bass solo by Cliff Burton, and the last by Hammett.
This song was played at the memorial for Cliff Burton, most notably because of the bass solo. It was also played live in 2006 when Metallica played the entire Master of Puppets album.

i was there in person both nights. by far my favorite concerts ever. also one of my favorite songs they played in arlington. and even though cliff died 30+ years before i was born, i still get teary eyed when the guys talk about him.
thank you metallica for:
1) coming to texas
2) playing all of the songs that i cried to during the concert(orion, nothing else matters, one, fade to black, call of ktulu)
3) staying together through everything that’s happened over the past (almost) 42 years
4) making songs that get me through life, give me something to bond with my friends over, and most importantly that make me happy
thank you so much metallica.
—your biggest fan (from texas at least)

This Friday concert was crazy! But the Sunday concert may have been one of the craziest and greatest metallic concerts in the past few decades!!! Tons of people body surfing, intense moshpits, people screaming all around me, jumping around, huge group headbanging! It was surreal... LET"S GO METALLICA!!!

I think the harmony section in the middle is the best it has ever sounded as well. Awesome.

Also this bass riff before the harmonies is sooo emotional
