With the release of Metallica's new album, 72 Seasons, just a matter of weeks away, the drip feed of new music is picking up the pace of a near constant glug of digital activity.
Shortly after the recent release of their latest song Screaming Suicide last month - and its accompanying behind-the-scenes video – the band appear to be teasing fans with a taste of another new song from the album, which is due April 14 through their own label, Blackened Recordings.
In a series of TikTok videos, the band have built a clip of another new song.
The series began with drummer Lars Ulrich counting in the track. He's then followed by bassist Rob Trujillo, who cranks out his part in his home and is followed around his pet dog who is keen to chomp through his lead. Then it's the turn of frontman James Hetfield who adds some crunch from his cosy wood-panelled home studio.
We're not gamblers by any means, but we'd put good money on Kirk Hammett joining this video tapestry in the coming hours, if not days.
Check the series of clips below.
