Lou Reed and Metallica, who joined forces to record a collaborative album entitled Lulu, have announced the release date: November 1st.

“It’s definitely not a Metallica album, or a Lou Reed album,” says guitarist Kirk Hammett. “It’s something else. It’s a new animal, a hybrid.”

Lou Reed is best known for his work in The Velvet Underground, while Metallica are famous for being giant douchebags who are incredibly easy to make fun of.
