Our Take

METALLICA Hardwired to Self-Destruct: A Thrashing, Headbanging Odyssey

In their latest double album extravaganza, Metallica serves up a deliciously decadent feast for the ears. Hardwired to Self-Destruct is a masterclass in blending old-school thrash with modern metal sensibilities, showcasing the band's evolution while staying true to their roots.

From the blistering riffs of "Moth Into Flame" to the thunderous drums of "Spit Out the Bone," Metallica prove that they still have plenty of fire left in their collective belly. The band's signature blend of aggression and melody is on full display here, with each track offering a different flavour of headbanging goodness.

Lead singer James Hetfield's vocals are as gritty and powerful as ever, while Kirk Hammett's guitar work is nothing short of virtuosic. The real standout, however, is Lars Ulrich's drumming, which is as ferocious and relentless as a pack of hungry wolves.

Sure, some may argue that Metallica's glory days are behind them, but Hardwired to Self-Destruct proves that they still have plenty of gas left in the tank. So grab your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and get ready to headbang like it's 1989 all over again. This is Metallica at their finest, and they show no signs of slowing down. Long live the kings of metal!

About the artist

Metallica

Metallica: The Fearsome Four Horsemen of Heavy Metal With their thunderous riffs, blistering solos, and anthemic choruses, Metallica have cemented their place as one of the most influential and iconic bands in the history of heavy metal. Formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, the band burst onto the scene with their debut album, "Kill 'Em All," in 1983, and never looked back. Led by the charismatic frontman James Hetfield, whose gravelly vocals and intense stage presence have become synonymous with the band's sound, Metallica quickly established themselves as masters of the thrash metal genre. Their second album, "Ride the Lightning," and third album, "Master of Puppets," are considered classics of the genre, showcasing the band's virtuosic musicianship and knack for crafting epic, multi-layered songs. But it was their breakout self-titled album, commonly known as "The Black Album," released in 1991, that propelled Metallica to mainstream success. Featuring hits like "Enter Sandman" and "Nothing Else Matters," the album showcased a more refined, radio-friendly sound while still retaining the band's trademark intensity. Over the years, Metallica have faced their fair share of controversies, from the infamous Napster lawsuit to the polarizing collaborations with Lou Reed and the misguided foray into the world of St. Anger snare drums. Despite these missteps, the band have persevered and continued to push the boundaries of metal music, earning them a dedicated global fanbase and a place in the rock 'n' roll hall of fame. So, grab your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and get ready to headbang with Metallica – the fearsome four horsemen of heavy metal.
