[QUOTE]It’s happening this year! Metallica have just announced that they’ll be releasing their new album, Hardwired… To Self-Destruct, on Nov. 18. With that news also comes a music video for the feisty, three minute neck-wrecker, “Hardwired,” which can be viewed above.
The eight year drought following Death Magnetic is finally over and Metallica have finally put the rumors of a new album coming out this year to rest. The band had been reluctant to confirm a 2016 release, though drummer Lars Ulrich hinted it would be out this year unless there was some “cosmic reason” to hold on to the record until next year.
“Hardwired” is a punchy, concise track that opens with a barrage of snare rolls and chugging. Tearing into a breakneck pace, James Hetfield‘s energetic, choppy delivery harkens back to the band’s dominant ’80s sound and an undisputed riffing frenzy. Injecting fleet-fingered guitar fills, Metallica cram a lot of action into just three minutes, raising the intensity with furious double kicks that helped Lars make his name in metal drumming more than three decades ago.[/QUOTE]

:excited:
that's some terrible album art
what's wrong with the bass drum sound?
Not bad. Hetfield's vocals will never be what they used to be but this is better than most of the stuff on Death Magnetic so its looking good so far.
Sounds like Death Magnetic if it were produced well.
I'm on board.
Maybe they should just retire. Every album after st anger has been pretty terrible.

Let's face it, every album has had problems with the bass drum.
Not bad but i've kinda lost faith in Metallica.
Not bad, but not great. I'm kind of eager to hear the rest of the album though. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.
Holy shit, this is the first song to ever give me a headache.
Whoever mixed this should be fired.
Pretty decent, so far. Nice throwback to old school Metallica.
Guess time will tell.

This is pretty much their last big tour I imagine. Blink182 and Good Charlotte should also stop
Sounds very similar to death magnetic imo. Not terrible but not my thing really. Sounds like they're just trying to play fast and comes across pretty generic. There's an actual melody to some of their older stuff, this is just GUITAR HARD AND FAST.
I feel like if the album art was drawn or otherwise stylized it would look fine, but in its current state it looks like lazy Photoshopping to me.

how 2 produce:
glue compressor
yeah the album art sucks lmao
Is that really the official album art?
Fucking stop already. They'd already admitted they're out of ideas and just keep ripping off their old music.
And fuck Lars. Most overrated drummer ever, giant dick too. They're just milking themselves for every little bit... Like they're any different from cash-grab bands like Nickelback or Creed.
(For clarification, idgaf, I actually like Creed and some Nickelback, and I do like old Metallica, but they've honestly run their course)

Doing mocking impressions of Stapp, Hetfield and Kroeger is one of my favourite things to do since they all have this ridiculous distinctive voice.
Just make another And Justice album, this Dad Rock/Metal stuff sucks.
Thanks for reminding me how horrible and uninspired american metal is metallica.
All these bands are releasing new albums and here I am still waiting for a new Aquabats album
This music is ok, hopefully this indicates that we forget about what happened in the last 8 years, as Death Magnetic was actually good and everything after that was St. Anger level bad.
After their last album in like 2008... geez..
It sounds like generic background metal you hear in radio ads for monster trucks. Not really giving me high hopes.
What the hell is wrong with their drum mixes?? The snare in st anger was absolutely abysmal and now the bass sounds like a potato sack, it completely distracts from the music.
Not too good, but at least it's better than Lulu.

Is it even possible to be worse than Lulu? I imagine it's quite hard to out-shit Lou Reed wailing "monkey monkey monkey monkey swallow a colored dick".
I'm loving what I've heard so far. cant wait to hear more.
