As I reported a couple of months ago, Metallica and Lou Reed, former frontman of The Velvet Underground, have collaborated to release a new album. Now, the album, has a name and a release date.

The album will be called "LuLu" and will be released October 31st worldwide, and November 1st in North America. The conception of the collaboration project began in 2009 when both Metallica and Lou Reed performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary Concert. After that performance, the two entities began "kicking around the idea of making a record together," but didn't start working together until two years later.
