Thrash metal pioneers Metallica have released a video for 'Confusion', taken from their new album Hardwired... to Self-Destruct.

In the video, a soldier battles post-traumatic stress disorder and struggles with her office job after experiencing combat overseas.

"Coming home from war, pieces don't fit anymore," sings James Hetfield over classic Metallica riffs and pummelling drums.

"All sanity is but a memory - my life: the war that never ends."

Hardwired... to Self-Destruct is released tomorrow on what the 'Disposable Heroes' rockers are calling 'Blackened Friday'.

'Confusion' is the fourth video from the new album, which debuted on the Rolling Stone website.

In a bold marketing move for the band, Metallica are releasing a total of nine videos today, each on a different editorial partner, including the likes of Pitchfork, NME and Metal Hammer.

The videos are also being published on Metallica.com.
