Metallica are releasing their eleventh album, Hardwired…To Self-Destruct, which follows 2008’s Death Magnetic, on November 18. It’s a double album with “nearly 80 minutes” of music produced by Greg Fidelman, and three of those minutes are out now. The lead single is called “Hardwired” and save for some questionable drum sounds and James’ less youthful voice, it’s up the alley of their classic thrash material. So that’s a pro. Listen:
