Default Metallica's upcoming album on November 16 - "Hardwired...to Self-Destruct"

First studio album in 8 years, two singles have already been released:

- Hardwired

IMO a solid opening track, I liked the simple riffs, clean vocals and the 3:18 length. It's obvious they are trying to find that magic they had in the 80s (been trying since Death Magnetic at least imo) and this track sounds like the closest they ever got.


- Moth into Flame

Disappointed. Sounds like a bunch of riffs glued together, with no actual musical idea behind the song. Everything is cleanly executed, of course, but that doesn't make it good music. Sounded a lot like an average Death Magnetic to me.


All in all, I'm not expecting a new Ride the Lightning or even a Black Album - you don't step in the same river twice - but I'm hoping for one or two really good tracks out of this double album.

The music videos for both songs were boring but who cares. Watching Lars sticking his tongue out while displaying mediocre drumming gets old quick anyway.


Now if they could just swap Lars with Dave Lombardo omg.

When Cliff died, Metallica died. Just glad they the sense to boot Dave, but Kirk left Exodus for them.

All my friends listened to metal and Metallica especially and I tried so hard to enjoy it up thru middle school. took me a long time to realize Metallica sucks (and is comprised of disgusting unamerican turds btw). If you were alive in the 90s and you are here hyping Metallica, not only do you have awful taste but your a f*ggot.

I will always love the first 3 metallica albums. But after that, the angst was gone. Now its just old dudes trying hard to be angry. Its over metallica.

Cliff died in the mid 80's - Black Album came out in early 90's - That alone invalidates your arguement.

Jason Newsted was a fine bass player and Kirk Hammet is the FKing king in my eyes. I don't agree with Metallica politically, particularly Larz McFGT, but Metallica will always been one of my favorite bands and they are far from dead

I like Metallica ^^ but I do t know who any of the members are or that one was dead or another left. As long as the singer still there I think that is most important a kinda a new band if you get a new singer. Like Nightwish when Tarja departed :c Anette was ok, but band had a whole different sound without the operatic soprano vocals.

I like Moth into flame. Hardwire not so much.

Still good, sounds a lot like Death Magnetic to me. Death Magnetic was a s step up compared to St Anger and Reload, so i guess i can be happy they're not going back to that at least.

Sounds pretty cool in live too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBHSvxG-F_k

Hardwire with classic tones: (someone replayed the guitar and bass + programmed drums and made them sound like the first 5 albums)

Yeah, wtf happened to the tones? They were great up until and including the black album, and deteriorated gradually ever since.

I dunno who to blame so I'm just gonna blame it on Lars.

Haven't heard yet but willing to bet the programmed drums sound better than the original.
