Metallica have just announced that they’ll be releasing their new album, Hardwired… To Self-Destruct, on November 18th. They have also released a music video for Hardwired, which can be viewed above.
“Has it really been eight years? Doesn’t feel like it! Nudge, nudge, wink, wink,” said Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich.
“We’re obviously beyond psyched to share new tunes with all our friends out there. We’ve been rockin’ along in the studio with Greg, on and off, for the last 18 months firing up the creative engines again.
Putting new music out there, getting in your faces once again and all that comes with it is what we love to do more than anything else, so strap yourselves in … INCOMING!”
Pre-order options are available at the band’s website, including digital, CD, various vinyl options including a box set and more. At present, only a concert this Saturday (August 20th) at Minneapolis U.S. Bank Stadium and a September 24th appearance at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City are on their schedule, but you can keep up with their touring announcements here.

this sounds like late 80s Testament….
I wonder who the drummer is on the track.
This sounds like a lame attempt to be thrash again. Suckers will lap it up though, and that’s the most important thing.
People that make posts like this #1 Have never played the drums, #2 Were never Metallica fans to begin with.
I’m also pretty sure that Lars and the biggest selling metal band of all time don’t lose a lot of sleep over it.
I like it. Can’t wait for the new album.
Never played the drums or weren’t a fan of Metallica….? How nice for you.
I really love the music, good stuff. But what’s even more fascinating are the lyrics. It sounds like they took a page of Neal Peart’s intellectual song writing from the A Farewell To King’s era.
Took me a moment to realize you were being sarcastic, but haha that’s a good one. Guess I should finish my coffee before I start reading witty responses.
“Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me, cannot kill the Battery.” Oh wait, that is a different song. 😉
Love that one, though…
