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

World tour

Presented by Liquid Death and Blackened American Whiskey (North America only) and promoted by Live Nation, Metallica’s M72 World Tour features two nights of performances in every city the band visits, none of them in Brazil.
