The band has posted the new song "Heroic Dose" on their official website as a free download. The track comes from their forthcoming album, "Heavy Metal Music," which will be released on August 6th in North America and the 5th in the UK. Download the free song here.

Jason Newsted produced "Heavy Metal Music" and his new namesake band also features drummer Jesus Mendez Jr, guitarist Jessie Farnsworth, and Staind guitarist Mike Mushok.

The group is currently on a tour of Europe and will be hitting the road this summer in North American as part of Megadeth's Gigantour along with Black Label Society, Device, Hellyeah & Death Division.

The Gigantour will be kicking off on July 3rd and it appears that Jason will be jamming a Metallica classic with Megadeth's Dave Mustaine during the trek.

"There is a chance that Mustaine and I will bust out some old Metallica that he was a part of. It has been talked about," says Jason. "I'm willing to throw down Phantom Lord � actually, whatever he calls out, I'm gonna throw down!"

Earlier this month Mustaine confirmed the plans when he tweeted fans asking them which classic Metallica song they would like to see the two former Metallica members jam together on the tour.
