Metallica have performed their epic new track ‘Moth Into Flame’ live for the very first time.

Published 28th Sep 2016

The band performed an ultra-intimate show at New York City’s Webster Hall last night (27th September) and performed the track in all its live glory midway through their 15-song set.

‘Hardwired’ also got its third live outing while their cover of Budgie’s Breadfan and Black Album track ‘Holier Than Thou’ were both played for the first time in three years.
