Metallica promised a new song in 2014, and they delivered "The Lords of Summer." The thrash titans played Bogata, Colombia on Sunday, March 16 and played their new track "The Lords of Summer." So far we only have bootleg video of the track.
New Update: The band just posted a studio demo version of the track.
UPDATE: Somebody grabbed all the bootleg footage and edited together a 10-cam mix of the performance:

The top video is the best sounding audio quality we found, the below one is the best looking video. Pick your poison:

My first reaction is this sounds much better than I expected. It sounds like old-school Metallica, and I mean that in a good way. It almost has a Kill 'Em All vibe to it. So I give it a thumbs up. What do you think?
Metallica have yet to put up an official download of the track, but when they do we will post it here.
