Metallica have unveiled a new song from their forthcoming album, 'Death Magnetic', which is released next month.

'My Apocalypse', the final song off the record, has appeared as a free-to-hear stream on the band's official website.

The track features a driving drum beat and a frantic guitar section. Besides the album's lead single, it's the first complete studio version of a song fans have heard from the record.

As previously reported, the band played two new songs from the album as they deadlined both legs of the Reading and Leeds festivals last weekend.
