And by the way all of these tracks have been recently remastered for optimum 2016 sound quality.

“The 2016 version of ‘Lords of Summer’ from the studio in its full glory as originally promised is still included, but now we’ve added the ‘Ronnie Rising Medley’, originally only available only on the Ronnie James Dio – This Is Your Life tribute album, along with the Iron Maiden cover of ‘Remember Tomorrow’ rounded out by Deep Purple’s ‘When A Blind Man Cries’. in place of the previously announced Riff Origins. So with that said, we’re here to tell you about some changes we’ve made to the deluxe versions of Hardwired.

While digging into the bonus options to compliment the 12-song album with additional material, we realized that none of our versions of these songs from some of our favorite and most respected artists have been readily available on our very own Blackened Recordings. As we were in the 11th hour of wrapping it up it dawned on us that we have never shared with you in any sort of cohesive “official” manner the extensive covers we have worked on since Death Magnetic. Says Metallica: “Guess what?!? It’s DONE! We have put the finishing touches on our next album Hardwired…To Self-Destruct and are looking forward to the next phase of unleashing it to the world, waking the monster that is Metallica and hitting the road.

Metallica recently announced that Hardwired…To Self-Destruct - which will be released on November 18th - is finally done! A message from the band can be found below. “We are just getting started, so keep watching this space for more information, more tour dates and just in general, more Metallica!! IT’S ON!” “Just to refresh your memories, Hardwired…To Self-Destruct hits the streets on Novemand was produced by Greg Fidelman, along with James and Lars, and is available for pre-order in a variety of configurations including 12 songs on a double CD, vinyl, digital download, as well as a deluxe version including cover songs and live tracks. We’re also excited to debut the corresponding video directed by Tom Kirk of Muse fame. Sitting and chatting with Howard is one our favorite things to do and we were honored that he offered to play it first and let us perform a few additional songs live while we were there. As some of you accurately predicted, we gave it the first public spin while hanging out with our great friend Howard Stern this morning in his New York studio.

Says Metallica: “We’re back!! Welcome to track number two from Hardwired…To Self-Destruct, “Moth Into Flame”.

Metallica have released a video for “Moth Into Flame”, a track from their upcoming new studio album, Hardwired…To Self-Destruct.
