There's big news in the world of rock and roll. According to our friends at Loudwire.com, Metallica is set to release a new studio set that will consist of two albums of brand new material, and a third album made up of the riffs and licks that inspired Hardwired...To Self Destruct

The album, set to be released November 18, 2016, is the first new studio material for Metallica in eight years. A full tour in support of the LP is expected, as the band is set for a one-off show this Saturday in Minneapolis. Check out the new single "Hardwired" below. Very Master/Justice-esque!!
