Between Metallica's very controversial 2011 collaboration with Lou Reed titled Lulu and their 2016 comeback album Hardwired To Self Destruct, there was the non-album track "Lords Of Summer" in 2014. The song received its own vinyl release with a few different versions and was eventually tacked on as a bonus track for the third disc of Hardwired To Self Destruct.
You can watch pro-shot footage of Metallica playing "Lords Of Summer" from a concert on June 16 at Koning Boudewijnstadium in Brussels, Belgium above.
