Metallica:We Will Have Music Videos For Every Of The 12 Song Of Handwired...To Self-Destruct

Lars Urlich Reveal That Every Handwired Song Will Have A Music Video

We already know that the new Metallica album will have the name Handwired...To Self-Destruct . We also know that the new album will have 12 songs and that 3 of  them are on youtube with their own music video Handwired . Moth Into Flame , Atlas.Rise . Now Lars inform us that every one of the 12 songs will have a music video . I don't think that any Metallica fan will ask for something more :-) ! As Lars tells The Straits Times:"We like to stay active on social media. It's fun to do stuff where it instantly shows up all over the world.

"You have to accept the way that the world is spinning. Now that YouTube is the world's biggest television station, we figured we may as well knock a video out for every song."

He adds : "The practicality of shooting 12 music videos is kind of crazy, especially when you're trying to promote your record, and you're all over the place, and trying to make sure it doesn't leak. It's crazy but, at the same time, fun."

At the same time James Hetfield reacts :  "I truly don't give a fuck. I really don't. I've embraced the idiocy of the internet, and the freedom you have to say whatever you want all the time.At some point, you get so desensitised to it that it makes no sense. Just do what you love. How can you go wrong? It always goes back to, 'Why are we doing this? Because we love doing it, and we want to write some music that we like to listen to.' Simple as that. If you like the music, then listen with us."

Also Hetfield explained the lyrical content of Handwired and Moth into Flame :

"Hardwired is so simple, it is not Shakespeare, I know that. But gosh, are humans really doing the right thing? And in the history of time, we're a little blip. And are we gonna be gone? Are we phasing ourselves out with electronics? Are we becoming this? Are we gonna self-destruct because of our egos and all of the stuff that makes humans human?
"That whole sentence 'hardwired to self-destruct' came from a friend of mine that was just throwing it out there as a struggling addict. Is that what it's like for us?

"Is our default just to die? Earlier than we're supposed to. Wreck. Destroy our lives – are we hardwired to self-destruct? And that just caught my ear.

"Moth Into Flame is pretty literal. These days everyone has an obsession with being famous. Being popular. Whether it's your Facebook account or walking around the street, watching someone doing selfies of themselves as they're walking down the street. What are you doing?"
