Metallica Announce 'Hardwired...To Self-Destruct'!

After eight years, heavy metal legends Metallica will release their new album, Hardwired...To Self-Destruct, on November 18th! The long-awaited, much anticipated follow-up to 2008's Death Magnetic, this new effort is the band's first ever double album, featuring nearly 80-minutes of new music.

As a big fan of Death Magnetic (except for the production), I am beyond excited for this album. It has been a long time coming and I'm hoping for some more thunderous tunes. Also, if it includes some kind of bluesy song with Hetfield's lower-register vocals, then I will be all set to put that song on repeat a thousand times.

The first single, Hardwired, is down below, along with the cover art and tracklisting for the album. Don't miss the new Metallica album (it's so nice to say that) in November!
