Hardwired…To Self-Destruct

Description

Metallica will release their eleventh studio album, Hardwired…To Self-
Destruct, on November 18th, via Blackened Recordings. The 2 CD / 2 Vinyl set
is the Grammy® Award winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee’ s first
studio album since 2008’ s multi-platinum Death Magnetic. Hardwired…To Self-
Destruct is produced by Greg Fidelman, who engineered and mixed Death
Magnetic. Metallica formed in 1981 by drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist and
vocalist James Hetfield and has become one of the most influential and
commercially successful rock bands in history, having sold 110 million albums
worldwide while playing to millions of fans on literally all seven continents.
They have scored several multi-platinum albums, including 1991’s Metallica
(commonly referred to as The Black Album), with sales of nearly 17 million
copies in the United States alone, making it the best-selling album in the
history of Soundscan. Metallica has also garnered numerous awards and
accolades, including nine Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, and
multiple MTV Video Music Awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame and Museum in 2009. In December 2013, Metallica made history when they
performed a rare concert in Antarctica, becoming the first act to ever play
all seven continents all within a year, and earning themselves a spot in the
Guinness Book of World Records. “Hardwired,” the first track to be released
from the forthcoming album was played for the first time during a live remote
broadcast from Metallica’s HQ in the Bay Area. During an interview with
Minneapolis rock station 93X discussing the band’s performance at U.S. Bank
Stadium on August 20th, Lars Ulrich stunned 93X’s Pablo by unleashing the
incendiary song for the first time, much to the surprise (and delight) of the
station, as well as fans around the world.
