Even Amnesty International think so! From BBC News:
"Heavy metal music and popular American children's songs are being used by US interrogators to break the will of their captives in Iraq.
Uncooperative prisoners are being exposed for prolonged periods to tracks by rock group Metallica and music from children's TV programmes Sesame Street and Barney in the hope of making them talk.
The US's Psychological Operations Company (Psy Ops) said the aim was to break a prisoner's resistance through sleep deprivation and playing music that was culturally offensive to them.
However, human rights organisation, Amnesty International, said such tactics may constitute torture - and coalition forces could be in breach of the Geneva Convention. "

May Metallica burn in hell. I think they should be deprived of sleep and forced to listen to thier own music.

The ATF did this at Waco. They played Nancy Sinatra's 'These Boots Are Made For Walking' on constant loop. That and the sounds of pigs and rabbits being killed.
That failed so they ended up torching the place!

Surely Venetian Snares is a lot more torturous than Metallica...
