After the calm intro, the song kicks in with an aggressive riff that lets the last chord ring for a full measure (or thereabouts), which is
vaguely similar to the opening intro riff in Creeping Death. That being said:
I have never once thought of Creeping Death when listening to this song
After it was mentioned, I hear the really basic similarily. But it is such a stretch that I never would have thought of Creeping Death if it hadn't been mentioned, and even after hearing it, they aren't similar enough to where I would connect the two moving forward.
