Metallica will release their eleventhstudio album, 'Hardwired…To Self-Destruct', on November 18^th, via Blackened Recordings. The 2 CD / 2 Vinyl set is the Grammy® Award winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee’s first studio album since 2008’s multi-platinum 'Death Magnetic'. 'Hardwired…To Self-Destruct' is produced by Greg Fidelman, who engineered and mixed Death Magnetic.

“Has it really been eight years?  Doesn’t feel like it!  Nudge, nudge, wink, wink,” said Metallica’s 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!”

Hardwired the first track to be released from the forthcoming album was played for the first time earlier during a live remote broadcast from Metallica’s HQ in the Bay Area. During an interview with Minneapolis rock station 93X discussing the band’s performance at U.S. Bank Stadium on August 20^th, Lars Ulrich stunned 93X’s Pablo by unleashing the incendiary song for the first time, much to the surprise (and delight) of the station, as well as fans around the world. Hardwired will be delivered as an instant download to fans who preorder the album.  

Metallica also premiered the official video for Hardwired recently.

Stay tuned for more details on Hardwired…To Self-Destruct in the coming weeks.
