They may not have played at the game, but if you were watching last night’s Super Bowl event, there is a decent chance you did get to hear a little Metallica.
For those who did not watch the event, or may have missed out, Metallica was featured as part of a commercial for NASCAR.
Specifically, the band’s new song “Lux Æterna” was used in a commercial for Daytona 500.
Metallica shared the commercial on their Twitter account and provided the following caption:
“Did you catch that last #SuperBowlLVII commercial?? Next Sunday, it’s full speed or nothing. Catch the 65th running of the Daytona 500 – February 19 on @FOXTV. @NASCARONFOX @FOXSports #Daytona500onFOX”
Metallica’s music and the thrill of racing go perfectly hand in hand, and if you want to check out the NASCAR commercial for yourself, you can find it below.
