Metallica have released a behind-the-scenes video for Here Comes Revenge from the Hardwired… To Self-Destruct studio sessions.
It follows their making-of promos Moth Into Flame and Hardwired from their new album, which can be viewed below. Each of the videos show the band members brainstorming ideas as they track instruments and vocals in the studio.
Vocalist and guitarist James Hetfield recently said Metallica didn’t keep any unused riffs after completing work on the record.
He said: “Once an album is finished the box of riffs is thrown away. We use the best.
“There’s no reason to save it if it’s not good – we’ll write new stuff. I’m very interested in moving forward.”
He added: “It was difficult, having 800 riffs on my phone or my computer, and all I wanted to do was, ‘Let’s write a new one now. Let’s just do it.’
“There’s something magical that happens when Lars and I get together and I plug into a loud, crunchy guitar sound. It moves me and I can create riffs.”
Metallica continue to add dates to their WorldWired tour, which is expected to run for at least two years. They’re the cover stars of the latest edition of Metal Hammer, on sale now in print and via TeamRock+.
