METALLICA are offering a free preview of ‘Moth Into Flame’ from the group’s upcoming Hardwired … to Self-Destruct.
The song is a tribute to late MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy Kilmister and uses many of his songtitles in the lyrics.
This is the second advance track from their long-awaited new studio effort, due in stores on Nov. 18. We first heard a snippet of this song back in August, as part of an advance trailer for Hardwired, the follow up to 2008’s Death Magnetic – unless you count METALLICA’s much-maligned 2011 collaboration with Lou Reed, Lulu.
METALLICA have continued to tinker with the project into this month, making significant changes to the running order of the bonus disc – including the addition of deluxe-edition covers of songs made famous by Iron Maiden, Ronnie James Dio and Deep Purple. The extra disc was already slated to include an update of ‘Lords of Summer,’ a stand-alone track they originally debuted in 2014.
