Metallica has been on fire since their debut in the early 80’s, and has kept the unwavering fire (as well as their countless fans) stoked for 35 years now. Over the past two days they have been relentlessly releasing music videos for 10 songs from their new album Hardwired… To Self-Destruct, which drops worldwide Friday, November 18th. The two-disc album is available for preview and pre-order through the band’s website, along with all the music videos released thus far.
“Dream No More”
“Confusion”
“ManUNkind”
“Now That We’re Dead”
“Here Comes Revenge”
“Am I Savage?”
“Halo on Fire”
“Murder One”
“Spit Out the Bone”
“Lords of Summer”
The only palpable interruption in this seemingly seamless music video release has been on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show, where the band came together in an unexpected synchronicity with jazz-hop group the Roots and the host Fallon himself to perform “Enter Sandman”.
