Behind-the-scenes footage from the making of METALLICA‘s official video for the song “Am I Savage?” can be seen below. The clip features a man who moves through stark scenes surrounded by family, coworkers and others who all wear white body stockings that disguise their faces. The track is taken from METALLICA‘s latest album, “Hardwired… To Self-Destruct”, which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart on November 27, selling 291,000 copies in its first week of release.
The “Am I Savage?” video was directed by the Brooklyn-based high-art photography duo Herring and Herring, who photographed METALLICA for the “Hadwired… To Self-Destruct” album package, and also helmed clips for “Halo On Fire” and “Now That We’re Dead”.
The long-awaited follow-up to 2008’s “Death Magnetic”, “Hardwired…To Self-Destruct” consists of two discs, containing a dozen songs and nearly 80 minutes of music.
“Hardwired…To Self-Destruct” was produced by Greg Fidelman with frontman James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich. The band recorded the disc at its own studio.
Instead of a previously announced bonus disc of demos, the deluxe edition of the album features a number of cover tunes that the band has recorded over the past few years, including a medley of Ronnie James Dio songs, IRON MAIDEN‘s “Remember Tomorrow” and DEEP PURPLE‘s “When A Blind Man Cries”.
The deluxe version also features a live set recorded at Rasputin’s in Berkeley, California on Record Store Day 2016 and a concert version of the song “Hardwired” recorded at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
