We're less than a month away from the release of Metallica's new album Hardwired... to Self Destruct!

To tide us over until then, Metallica is releasing their new song, "Atlas, Rise!"  next Monday, on Halloween at 3p.m. ET. But, you'll have the chance to hear the song early if you "trick or treat" at your local independent record stores this weekend. Several stores across Michigan are participating.

Starting this Friday, Oct. 28, stores will carry free limited edition Hardwired…To Self-Destruct Halloween masks. Inside of each mask you’ll find a special access code that will allow you to hear “Atlas, Rise!” 30 minutes prior to its official release.

Here are the participating Michigan stores:

  • Vertigo 129 S Division Grand Rapids, MI 49503
  • Greenlight 4717 West KL Ave, Kalamazoo, MI 49006
  • Wazoo Records 336 1/2 S State Ann Arbor, MI 48104
