Metallica have released a live video showcasing their track Halo On Fire.
Their performance of the Hardwired… To Self-Destruct song was filmed last weekend during their set at Lollapalooza Brazil, which took place in Sao Paulo.
Their appearance at the festival marked the end of the thrash giants’ run of early 2017 dates, with their next live show taking place in Baltimore on May 10 – the start of their North American WorldWired tour.
Speaking previously about how the band came back together to record Hardwired… To Self-Destruct, drummer Lars Ulrich said: “With Metallica, there used to be a lot of stuff that was fuelled by negativity. It’s the nature of who we are and where we came from, but there was this cynicism, this scepticism, this controversy.
“We held each other on very tight leashes, and if someone fucked up, we rained hellfire on all of us.
“There’s none of that negativity any more. We support each other, we know each other so well, and it all comes with knowing the personalities, knowing the dynamics, knowing the boundaries, knowing how everything works.”
Following their North American tour, Metallica will return to Europe in September, with dates planned into May 2018. Find all their live dates below.
