This is the first full collection of new Metallica material since then Wired… To self-destructfrom 2016. The album will be released in formats including double LP, CD and digital.
The first single of 72 seasonsis Eternal light, a short, sharp blast that distills 40 years of Metallica into three and a half minutes. The song is available for streaming and download.
The singer of the band, James Hetfield explains the choice of name. 🇧🇷72 seasons🇧🇷 The first 18 years of our life that form our true or false self. The concept of ‘who we are’ that our parents told us. A possible ‘limiting classification’ as to what type of personality we have,” he said in a statement. “I think the most interesting part of this is the ongoing study of these core beliefs and how they affect our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is a recollection or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or freed from the bondage we carry,” he continued
