METALLICA DEBUTS "HARDWIRED"

Metallica released a video for their newest song, “Hardwired,” to announce the 11/18 release of their 11th studio album, Hardwired...To Self-Destruct, on Blackened Recordings. It’s James, Lars, Kirk and Rob’s first studio album since 2008's Death Magnetic.

Headbangers suffering from a lack of Metallica material can rejoice further: It’s a two-CD set that will be released on vinyl and in Deluxe and Deluxe Deluxe Versions. (Might they also consider the extra extra longbox?)

Metallica unveiled "Hardwired" during an interview with Minneapolis’ 93X.

"We're obviously beyond psyched to share new tunes with all our friends out there,” Lars Ulrich said. “We've been rockin' along in the studio with Greg [Fidelman] 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!"

Metallica’s 8/20 performance at Minneapolis’ U.S. Bank Stadium—the first rock concert at the new home of the Vikings—will be streamed live on Pandora beginning at 10 pm EST here.
