Metallica has released the fourth song from their upcoming album, the seven-and-a-half-minute epic title track 72 Seasons. The tone for the 12-song, 77-minute album is set by 72 Seasons, which is expansive and unrelenting. Written by Hetfield, Ulrich, and Hammett, this epic track perfectly embodies the concept behind the new record’s title.
With its exploration of the cyclical nature of life, the lyrics of Metallica’s 72 Seasons have earned praise for their poetic depth. The song has been eagerly anticipated by fans, who have not been disappointed by its delivery. Metallica once again prove their relevance and mastery of Heavy Metal with this blistering track.
The new album is due on 14 April 2023 and will be released on 2LP 140g black vinyl and limited-edition variants, CD, digital, and in Dolby Atmos (streaming where available). For a full listing of configurations, pre-orders, visit https://metallica.com.
