On August 18th 2016, Metallica announced the released date of their new album, Hardwired … To Self-Destruct. The album will be released on November 18th 2016. With the announcement the band also released a video for the the new track “Hardwired.” Metallica fans will argue it was well worth the wait when first hearing the new dynamic track. The track explodes with a killer opening drum riff that resonates throughout the number. The band sounds tighter than they ever sounded.
Its been eight years since the last Metallica album was released in 2o08 entitled Death Magnetic. That album was produced by Rick Rubin. The new album presents producer credit to the band members. As in most major new released by classic rock bands, the album will be released in varying formats. We have listed some of the formats below along with track listings. Our only question sis why do we have to wait until November? Uggh! The official Metallica website is now taking pre-orders for the new album. This one will be a tough wait.
