Metallica

When Metallica released "Moth Into Flame" on September 15, 2016, they were just launching their highly anticipated album, *Hardwired... to Self-Destruct*. This record marked a significant return to their thrash roots and was the band’s first studio album in eight years, following *Death Magnetic*. What’s fascinating is how *Hardwired* represents both a nod to their legacy and a bold step forward, blending classic Metallica sounds with fresh, dynamic energy. This live recording, in particular, shines a light on their raw power and performance intensity, which fans have come to love. Directed by Tom Kirk, the official music video adds another layer, showcasing the band’s ability to still captivate audiences decades into their career. Can you believe they’ve evolved while still holding true to what makes them Metallica? It’s a testament to their unyielding authenticity and artistic growth.
