They say their 11th studio album represents "the next phase of our journey."
The "Nothing Else Matters" and "Unforgiven" band explained that "Hardwired ... To Self-Destruct" will be available in several forms: a double CD, vinyl, through digital download, as well as a deluxe edition with "the riffs that were the origins of the album."
The band's current lineup includes singer-guitarist James Hetfield, drummer Lars Ulrich, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo.
Metallica released "Death Magnetic" in 2008.
