If you've been living under a rock for the last 24 hours, Metallica dropped a new single, "Hardwired" off their long-anticipated upcoming album of the same name and it's been the talk of social media the last day.
Just in case you haven't heard the track:
The song has been getting favorable reviews in our poll, with nearly 75% of the 10,000 people who voted saying they have a favorable review. Metallica being the biggest metal band on the planet, and one of the biggest bands of all time, illicit a big reaction from everybody in the metal scene and we thought it'd be fun to point out some reactions to the new track:
Just heard the new @metallica song Hardwired. Prepare to get crushed. @SixxSense #SupportMusic
