WATCH: Metallica drop new track & video 'Moth Into Flame'

Prepare yourself for 6 minutes of riffs. And moths...

Published 26th Sep 2016

A few weeks since first single 'Hardwired', Metallica have revealed both the track and official video for the second song from 'Hardwired... To Self Destruct'.

Directed by Muse's main videographer Tom Kirk, the video features the band performing on a dark set, surrounded by light bulbs, drawing the attentions of a swarm of moths.

Watch the official video below:

Originally unveiled on Howard Stern's Sirius radio show in the US, the lyrics are laced with James Hetfield's trademark dark worldview.

Lines like "Infamy/ All for publicity / Destruction going viral" and "The vultures feast around you still / Overdose on shame and insecurity / If one won’t do that fistful will", show that Papa Het has a distinctly cynical opinion of the modern showbiz machine.

Last week, Metallica revealed that they were completely changing the structure of the third CD of the 'Hardwired... To Self Destruct' Deluxe Edition from a 'Riff Origins' disc, to a collection of covers and live tracks.
