Metallica have released their phenomenal 12th studio album, 72 Seasons via their own Blackened Recordings.
The record has produced tracks such as “If Darkness Had a Son,”, “Screaming Suicide” and first single “Lux Æterna”. Produced by Greg Fidelman with Hetfield & Ulrich, and clocking in at over 77 minutes, the 12-track 72 Seasons is Metallica’s first full length collection of new material since 2016’s 'Hardwired…To Self-Destruct'.
Critically acclaimed, and hailed already as “a ringing success” by Classic Rock Magazine, Uncut declared that Metallica have found “ageless redemption”, and The Arts Desk sum things up suitably, stating quite simply that “Metallica continue to deliver.”
The album is available in 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 and further information, go to www.metallica.com/store/72-seasons/
Single day tickets are on sale for all shows on Metallica’s M72 world tour at ticketmaster.com. Presented worldwide by Liquid Death and Blackened American Whiskey (in North America only) and promoted by Live Nation, M72 will see the band playing two nights in every city it visits—with each No Repeat Weekend featuring two completely different setlists and support lineups. The M72 tour will feature a bold new in-the-round stage design that relocates the famed Metallica Snake Pit to centre stage, as well as the I Disappear full-tour pass and more. For further information on single day and two day tickets, enhanced experiences and more, go to Metallica Tour.
