The head-scratching combo of Lou Reed and Metallica, who’ll release their album Lulu this fall, have been teasing the single “The View” with 30- and 90-second previews of the track. This afternoon, though, they’ve uploaded the full 5:17-long track to Soundcloud. The result, as you can hear below, is a song that sounds, well, like Lou Reed talking over a typically heavy Metallica track. The full album arrives Oct. 31 in the U.K. and Nov. 1 in the U.S.
