Praise for Hardwired…To Self-Destruct includes The New York Times: “Metallica has embraced its adulthood, reclaiming the attack of its music while jettisoning the image of a hard-rock band as young, fast and out of control”, Rolling Stone: “Metallica’s ‘Hardwired’ shreds back to vintage eighties terror”, LA Times: “Metallica keeps evolving”, Decibel: “Metallica balances legacy, longevity, and longitude with Hardwired...To Self-Destruct”, Kerrang!: “This is Metallica galvanized, refreshed, refocused and rediscovering themselves. Best thing they've done since The Black album? Yep”, The Guardian: “Metallica have just made their finest record in 25 years,” NME: “Metallica remain both vital and innovative”, and much more. 

To celebrate the release of Hardwired…To Self-Destruct, Metallica will perform live tonight at the very intimate House of Vans in London for Fifth Members and lucky winners. The band performs at 9:00 PM GMT and fans can take part in the festivities by visiting www.metallica.com or YouTube to stream the performance live. The show will be available on demand in its entirety for one week following the show.

In an unprecedented move for Metallica, this past Wednesday the band released music videos for each song on the new album via www.metallica.com and simultaneously with editorial partners around the world for every two hours.  New songs and their corresponding videos premiered right up to when the clock turned over at midnight in New Zealand, where the first official copy of the new album became available worldwide. Directors for the videos included: Jonas Åkerlund, who originally worked with the band on "Turn The Page" and "Whiskey In The Jar," album package photographers Herring and Herring, Colin Hakes ("Hardwired"), Clark Eddy ("Atlas Rise," and countless "Making of . . ." clips), Tom Kirk ("Moth Into Flame"), Claire Marie Vogel, Jessica Cope, Rob Valley, Phil Mucci, and Metallica's very own videographer Brett Murray.

Blue Rodeo Concert Dates - Canadian Tour

Friday, October 28, 2016

Warner Music Canada recording artists Blue Rodeo have today released their 15^th studio album, 1000 Arms. Among the album’s 12 tracks is the single “Superstar.”  In support of the album’s release, tickets are now on sale for Blue Rodeo’s 2017 tour.  The band will play 29 concerts in 23 cities, beginning January 11, 2017 in Thunder Bay and each ticket sold includes a album download code for 1000 Arms.  Full album track listing and tour dates listed below.

Buy 1000 Arms: Concert Tickets, CD/LP/Digital or Stream the album HERE (tickets available at 10 am local time).

 The video clip for “Superstar” was directed by the band’s longtime collaborator Chris Mills who reimagines Blue Rodeo as a Riot Grrl band.   Watch the video for “Superstar” HERE

1000 Arms was recorded over the winter of 2015/16 at Blue Rodeo’s Woodshed Studios.  The album shares its name with the Jim Cuddy-penned song inspired by a podcast Jim was listening to.

“The podcast was about allowing your community to help you,” says Cuddy.  "When we were going over titles, we were thinking about our musical community, what it means to us and how much we would do for each other. That was what we were thinking about the most, so it seemed like an appropriate title.”

The 12-track record was co-produced and engineered by Tim Vesely, a founding member of the Rheostatics.  Jim and his longtime bandmate Greg Keelor credit Vesely with helping influence the sound of the new album. The engineer had been listening to some of the band’s older records and commented that Jim and Greg weren’t singing together as much as they used to.  The revelation caught the band off guard but the result brought the band back to what has always been one of their strengths.

“We made a very concerted effort to sing together on this album, either with direct harmonies or call and response, and we really enjoyed that,” says Cuddy.

In the thirty years since forming, Blue Rodeo have sold over 4 million albums, won countless Juno awards, been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, received a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, been named to the Order of Canada and have been honoured with the Governor General’s  Performing Arts Award.
